Subject: [PATCH] x86/bugs/multihit: Fix mitigation reporting when KVM is not
in use
On systems that have virtualization disabled or KVM module is not
loaded, sysfs mitigation state of X86_BUG_ITLB_MULTIHIT is reported
incorrectly as:
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/itlb_multihit
KVM: Vulnerable
System is not vulnerable to DoS attack from a rogue guest when:
- KVM module is not loaded or
- Virtualization is disabled in the hardware or
- Kernel was configured without support for KVM
Change the reporting to "Currently not affected (KVM not in use)" for
such cases.
Reported-by: Nelson Dsouza <nelson.dsouza@...ux.intel.com>
Fixes: b8e8c8303ff2 ("kvm: mmu: ITLB_MULTIHIT mitigation")
