commit a21bfbd10b0daf46bd596b7bde2d0a6a9351ffa7 Author: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Mon May 15 14:14:53 2023 +0100 Commit: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx> CommitDate: Tue Aug 8 16:02:53 2023 +0100 x86/boot: Adjust MSR_ARCH_CAPS handling for the Host policy We are about to move MSR_ARCH_CAPS into featureset, but the order of operations (copy raw policy, then copy x86_capabilitiles[] in) will end up clobbering the ARCH_CAPS value. Some toolstacks use this information to handle TSX compatibility across the CPUs and microcode versions where support was removed. To avoid this transient breakage, read from raw_cpu_policy rather than modifying it in place. This logic will be removed entirely in due course.
