KVM: PPC: Book3S: Provide information about hardware/firmware CVE wor…
…karounds This adds a new ioctl, KVM_PPC_GET_CPU_CHAR, that gives userspace information about the underlying machine's level of vulnerability to the recently announced vulnerabilities CVE-2017-5715, CVE-2017-5753 and CVE-2017-5754, and whether the machine provides instructions to assist software to work around the vulnerabilities. The ioctl returns two u64 words describing characteristics of the CPU and required software behaviour respectively, plus two mask words which indicate which bits have been filled in by the kernel, for extensibility. The bit definitions are the same as for the new H_GET_CPU_CHARACTERISTICS hypercall. There is also a new capability, KVM_CAP_PPC_GET_CPU_CHAR, which indicates whether the new ioctl is available.
