From aba7de6088be5a3b5d766c5f7fdb5d0790ff8f13 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pawan Gupta Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2025 15:37:39 -0800 Subject: x86/bugs: Use VM_CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS in VMX as well TSA mitigation: d8010d4ba43e ("x86/bugs: Add a Transient Scheduler Attacks mitigation") introduced VM_CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS for guests on AMD CPUs. Currently on Intel CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS is being used for guests which has a much broader scope (kernel->user also). Make mitigations on Intel consistent with TSA. This would help handling the guest-only mitigations better in future.
