commit 288d152c23dcf3c09da46c5c481903ca10ebfef7 upstream
The slow path in vmx_l1d_flush() reads from vmx_l1d_flush_pages in order to evict the L1d cache.
However, these pages are never cleared and, in theory, their data could be leaked.
More importantly, KSM could merge a nested hypervisor's vmx_l1d_flush_pages to fewer than 1 << L1D_CACHE_ORDER host physical pages and this would break the L1d flushing algorithm: L1D on x86_64 is tagged by physical addresses.
Fix this by initializing the individual vmx_l1d_flush_pages with a different pattern each.
Rename the "empty_zp" asm constraint identifier in vmx_l1d_flush() to "flush_pages" to reflect this change.
