Currently the tracking of the need to flush L1D for L1TF is tracked by two bits: one per-CPU and one per-vCPU. The per-vCPU bit is always set when the vCPU shows up on a core, so there is no interesting state that's truly per-vCPU. Indeed, this is a requirement, since L1D is a part of the physical CPU. So simplify this by combining the two bits. The vCPU bit was being written from preemption-enabled regions. To play nice with those cases, wrap all calls from KVM and use a raw write so that request a flush with preemption enabled doesn't trigger what would effectively be DEBUG_PREEMPT false positives. Preemption doesn't need to be disabled, as kvm_arch_vcpu_load() will mark the new CPU as needing a flush if the vCPU task is migrated, or if userspace runs the vCPU on a different task.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
