4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Nicolai Stange <nsta...@suse.de>
commit 18b57ce2eb8c8b9a24174a89250cf5f57c76ecdc upstream
For VMEXITs caused by external interrupts, vmx_handle_external_intr()
indirectly calls into the interrupt handlers through the host's IDT.
It follows that these interrupts get accounted for in the
kvm_cpu_l1tf_flush_l1d per-cpu flag.
The subsequently executed vmx_l1d_flush() will thus be aware that some
interrupts have happened and conduct a L1d flush anyway.
Setting l1tf_flush_l1d from vmx_handle_external_intr() isn't needed
anymore. Drop it.
