[PATCH v2 3/4] x86/cpu: clear SME features when not in use

From: Mario Limonciello
Date: Fri Feb 11 2022 - 16:06:18 EST


Currently the SME CPU feature flag is reflective of whether the CPU
supports the features but not whether they have been activated by the
kernel.

Change this around to clear the features if the kernel is not using
them so userspace can determine if they are available and in use
from `/proc/cpuinfo`.

As the feature flag is now cleared on systems that SME isn't active
use CPUID 0x8000001f to confirm SME availability before calling
`native_wbinvd`.

A concern was raised whether the assembly generated from stop_this_cpu
is still safe. Here is the assembly from compiling with this patch:
