The l1tf_vmx_mitigation is only set to VMENTER_L1D_FLUSH_NOT_REQUIRED when the ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR indicates that L1D flush is not required. However, if the CPU is not affected by L1TF, l1tf_vmx_mitigation will still be set to VMENTER_L1D_FLUSH_AUTO. This is certainly not the best option for a !X86_BUG_L1TF CPU. So force l1tf_vmx_mitigation to VMENTER_L1D_FLUSH_NOT_REQUIRED to make it more explicit in case users are checking the vmentry_l1d_flush parameter.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
