commit1eaafe91a0upstream. If there is a possibility that a VM may migrate to a Skylake host, then the hypervisor should report IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES.RSBA[bit 2] as being set (future work, of course). This implies that CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):EDX.ARCH_CAPABILITIES[bit 29] should be set. Therefore, kvm should report this CPUID bit as being supported whether or not the host supports it. Userspace is still free to clear the bit if it chooses. For more information on RSBA, see Intel's white paper, "Retpoline: A Branch Target Injection Mitigation" (Document Number 337131-001), currently available at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199511. Since the IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR is emulated in kvm, there is no dependency on hardware support for this feature.

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.
