[PATCH] target/i386: Export TAA_NO bit to guests


From: Pawan Gupta
Subject: [PATCH] target/i386: Export TAA_NO bit to guests
Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2019 23:23:27 -0800
User-agent: Mutt/1.12.1 (2019-06-15)

TSX Async Abort (TAA) is a side channel attack on internal buffers in
some Intel processors similar to Microachitectural Data Sampling (MDS).

Some future Intel processors will use the ARCH_CAP_TAA_NO bit in the
IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR to report that they are not vulnerable to
TAA. Make this bit available to guests.
