Hi,
hopefully the final update on this series, rebasing on Catalin's and
Will's arm64/for-next/mitigations branch.
This slightly adjusts the internal names to use "not required"
instead of "unaffected", which is less precise.
As introduced in v5, this one contains the patch to propagate the new
"not required" state for Spectre v2 to KVM and its guests.
Cheers,
Andre
-----------------------------
Workarounds for Spectre variant 2 or 4 vulnerabilities require some help
from the firmware, so KVM implements an interface to provide that for
guests. When such a guest is migrated, we want to make sure we don't
loose the protection the guest relies on.
This introduces two new firmware registers in KVM's GET/SET_ONE_REG
interface, so userland can save the level of protection implemented by
the hypervisor and used by the guest. Upon restoring these registers,
we make sure we don't downgrade and reject any values that would mean
weaker protection.
The protection level is encoded in the lower 4 bits, with smaller
values indicating weaker protection.
ARM(32) is a bit of a pain (again), as the firmware register interface
is shared, but 32-bit does not implement all the workarounds.
For now I stuffed two wrappers into kvm_emulate.h, which doesn't sound
like the best solution. Happy to hear about better solutions.
This has been tested with migration between two Juno systems. Out of the
box they advertise identical workaround levels, and migration succeeds.
However when disabling the A57 cluster on one system, WORKAROUND_1 is
not needed and the host kernel propagates this. Migration now only
succeeds in one direction (from the big/LITTLE configuration to the
A53-only setup).
Please have a look and comment!
This is based upon arm64/for-next/migitations.
