The AMD Zen4 core supports a new feature called Automatic IBRS
(Indirect Branch Restricted Speculation).
Enable Automatic IBRS by default if the CPU feature is present.
It typically provides greater performance over the incumbent
generic retpolines mitigation.
Patch 1 adds support for the whole leaf that contains the
AutoIBRS feature bit.
Patches 2-5 mainly move the existing features over from
scattered / open-coded in KVM into the new shared leaf,
where they match hardware.
Patch 6 Adds support for AutoIBRS by turning its EFER
enablement bit on at startup if the feature is available.
Patch 7 Adds support for propagating AutoIBRS to the guest.
v7: - Add Dave Hansen's Acked-by to unchanged patch 6/7
- Change patch 3/7 to not bother to set MSR DE_CFG[1]
if X86_FEATURE_LFENCE_RDTSC is already set [Boris]
- v6 went out with two 1/1's, try to not do that again
v6: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230110224643.452273-1-kim.phillips@xxxxxxx/
Address v5 comment from Boris:
- Move CPUID leaf 0x8000021 EAX feature bits from scattered
to the new whole leaf since the majority of the features
will be used in the kernel and thus a separate leaf is
appropriate.
v5: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20221205233235.622491-1-kim.phillips@xxxxxxx/
Address v4 comments from Dave Hansen, Pawan Gupta, and Boris:
- Don't add new user-visible 'autoibrs' command line
options that we have to document: reuse 'eibrs'
- Update Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln/spectre.rst
- Add NO_EIBRS_PBRSB to Hygon as well
- Re-word commit texts to not use words like 'us'
v4: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20221201015003.295769-8-kim.phillips@xxxxxxx/
Moved some kvm bits that had crept into patch 6/7 back into 7/7,
and addressed v3 comments:
- Don't put ", kvm" in titles of patches that don't touch kvm. [SeanC]
- () after function names, i.e. kvm_set_cpu_caps(). [SeanC]
- follow the established kvm_cpu_cap_init_scattered() style [SeanC]
- Add using cpu_feature_enabled() instead of static_cpu_has() to
commit text [SeanC]
- Pawan Gupta mentioned that the ordering of enabling the Intel
feature bit past Intel EIBRS bug detection could be avoided
by setting NO_EIBRS_PBRSB to cpu_vuln_whitelist, so did that
which allowed regrouping all EIBRS related code to one place
in cpu_set_bug_bits().
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20221129235816.188737-1-kim.phillips@xxxxxxx/
- Remove Co-developed-bys. They require signed-off-bys,
so co-developers need to add them themselves.
- update check_null_seg_clears_base() [Boris]
- Made the feature bit additions separate patches
because v2 patch was clearly doing too many things at once.
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20221124000449.79014-1-kim.phillips@xxxxxxx/
https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/11/23/1690
- Use synthetic/scattered bits instead of introducing new leaf [Boris]
- Combine the rest of the leaf's bits being used [Paolo]
Note: Bits not used by the host can be moved to kvm/cpuid.c if
maintainers do not want them in cpufeatures.h.
- Hoist bitsetting code to kvm_set_cpu_caps(), and use
cpuid_entry_override() in __do_cpuid_func() [Paolo]
- Reuse SPECTRE_V2_EIBRS spectre_v2_mitigation enum [Boris, PeterZ, D.Hansen]
- Change from Boris' diff:
Moved setting X86_FEATURE_IBRS_ENHANCED to after BUG_EIBRS_PBRSB
so PBRSB mitigations wouldn't be enabled.
- Allow for users to specify "autoibrs,lfence/retpoline" instead
of actively preventing the extra protections. AutoIBRS doesn't
require the extra protection, but we allow it anyway.
