From 668f7b19aabe72001ec76962b2560e92e2cf3259 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lendacky Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2018 16:09:32 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] x86/cpu/AMD: Use LFENCE_RDTSC in preference to MFENCE_RDTSC commit 9c6a73c75864ad9fa49e5fa6513e4c4071c0e29f upstream. With LFENCE now a serializing instruction, use LFENCE_RDTSC in preference to MFENCE_RDTSC. However, since the kernel could be running under a hypervisor that does not support writing that MSR, read the MSR back and verify that the bit has been set successfully. If the MSR can be read and the bit is set, then set the LFENCE_RDTSC feature, otherwise set the MFENCE_RDTSC feature.
