## Overview

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

x86/CPU/AMD: Clear virtualized VMLOAD/VMSAVE on Zen4 client

A number of Zen4 client SoCs advertise the ability to use virtualized
VMLOAD/VMSAVE, but using these instructions is reported to be a cause
of a random host reboot.

These instructions aren't intended to be advertised on Zen4 client
so clear the capability.

## Affected

- `Linux >= 89c8a4984fc98e625517bfe5083342d77ee35811 < cf79df17706605032461f1ebde730b4391d1ca9c`
- `Linux >= 89c8a4984fc98e625517bfe5083342d77ee35811 < 00c713f84f477a85e524f34aad8fbd11a1c051f0`
- `Linux >= 89c8a4984fc98e625517bfe5083342d77ee35811 < a5ca1dc46a6b610dd4627d8b633d6c84f9724ef0`
- `Linux 4.13`
