commit6232774f15upstream. After migration the security feature flags might have changed (e.g., destination system with unpatched firmware), but some flags are not set/clear again in init_cpu_char_feature_flags() because it assumes the security flags to be the defaults. Additionally, if the H_GET_CPU_CHARACTERISTICS hypercall fails then init_cpu_char_feature_flags() does not run again, which potentially might leave the system in an insecure or sub-optimal configuration. So, just restore the security feature flags to the defaults assumed by init_cpu_char_feature_flags() so it can set/clear them correctly, and to ensure safe settings are in place in case the hypercall fail.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
