x86: KVM: Add common feature flag for AMD's PSFD

[PATCH] x86: KVM: Add common feature flag for AMD's PSFD

Posted by Sean Christopherson 2 years, 7 months ago

Use a common X86_FEATURE_* flag for AMD's PSFD, and suppress it from
/proc/cpuinfo via the standard method of an empty string instead of
hacking in a one-off "private" #define in KVM.  The request that led to
KVM defining its own flag was really just that the feature not show up
in /proc/cpuinfo, and additional patches+discussions in the interim have
clarified that defining flags in cpufeatures.h purely so that KVM can
advertise features to userspace is ok so long as the kernel already uses
a word to track the associated CPUID leaf.

No functional change intended.
