Cover letter [MODERATED] [patch 0/8] MDD v1.3.1
Since v3:
- Fixed the bug where IBRS was enabled when going in the kernel.
- Untangled two patches.
Couple of things:
- 'Memory disambiguation disable mitigation is enabled' sounds horrible. I ended up picking up for sysfs 'md' and for x86 speaking about 'mdd' and putting the parameters around the 'disable' part.
- No AMD SVM support as I don't know the bits.
- The last two patches are crap. I should have used the latest one from Tim Chen, but it may be an academic point as folks may just decide that having this memory disambiguation being enabled/disabled when switching between kernel and userspace is not worth it.
- It works nicely.
