Subject: [PATCH 5.2 182/215] x86/speculation/mds: Apply more accurate check on hypervisor platform
From: Zhenzhong Duan <zhenzhong.duan@...cle.com>
commit 517c3ba00916383af6411aec99442c307c23f684 upstream.
X86_HYPER_NATIVE isn't accurate for checking if running on native platform,
e.g. CONFIG_HYPERVISOR_GUEST isn't set or "nopv" is enabled.
Checking the CPU feature bit X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR to determine if it's
running on native platform is more accurate.
This still doesn't cover the platforms on which X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR is
unsupported, e.g. VMware, but there is nothing which can be done about this
scenario.
Fixes: 8a4b06d391b0 ("x86/speculation/mds: Add sysfs reporting for MDS")
