    x86: KVM: Advertise AVX-IFMA CPUID to user space · 5e85c4eb
    Jiaxi Chen authored
    AVX-IFMA is a new instruction in the latest Intel platform Sierra
    Forest. This instruction packed multiplies unsigned 52-bit integers and
    adds the low/high 52-bit products to Qword Accumulators.
    
    The bit definition:
    CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=1):EAX[bit 23]
    
    AVX-IFMA is on an expected-dense CPUID leaf and some other bits on this
    leaf have kernel usages. Given that, define this feature bit like
    X86_FEATURE_<name> in kernel. Considering AVX-IFMA itself has no truly
    kernel usages and /proc/cpuinfo has too much unreadable flags, hide this
    one in /proc/cpuinfo.
    
    Advertise AVX-IFMA to KVM userspace. This is safe because there are no
    new VMX controls or additional host enabling required for guests to use
    this feature.
