[PATCH v3 2/2] x86: KVM: Advertise AMD's speculation control features

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It seems helpful to expose to userspace some speculation control features
from 0x80000008_EBX function:
* 16 bit. IBRS always on. Indicates whether processor prefers that
  IBRS is always on. It simplifies speculation managing.
* 18 bit. IBRS is preferred over software solution. Indicates that
  software mitigations can be replaced with more performant IBRS.
* 19 bit. IBRS provides Same Mode Protection. Indicates that when IBRS
  is set indirect branch predictions are not influenced by any prior
  indirect branches.
* 29 bit. BTC_NO. Indicates that processor isn't affected by branch type
  confusion. It's used during mitigations setting up.
