4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nicolai Stange <nsta...@suse.de>

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.

Fixes: a47dd5f06714 ("x86/KVM/VMX: Add L1D flush algorithm")
