[PATCH 4.19 064/139] kvm: svm: Ensure an IBPB on all affected CPUs when freeing a vmcb

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2018-12-04 10:57:44
Also in: lkml

4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jim Mattson <redacted>

commit fd65d3142f734bc4376053c8d75670041903134d upstream.

Previously, we only called indirect_branch_prediction_barrier on the
logical CPU that freed a vmcb. This function should be called on all
logical CPUs that last loaded the vmcb in question.
