This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled x86/bugs: Warn when "ibrs" mitigation is selected on Enhanced IBRS parts to the 4.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: x86-bugs-warn-when-ibrs-mitigation-is-selected-on-enhanced-ibrs-parts.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Mon Oct 31 07:55:50 AM CET 2022 From: Suraj Jitindar Singh <surajjs@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2022 13:56:03 -0700 Subject: x86/bugs: Warn when "ibrs" mitigation is selected on Enhanced IBRS parts To: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <surajjs@xxxxxxxxxx>, <sjitindarsingh@xxxxxxxxx>, <cascardo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>, <kvm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx>, <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx>, <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>, <x86@xxxxxxxxxx> Message-ID: <20221027205604.18039-1-surajjs@xxxxxxxxxx> From: Pawan Gupta <pawan.kumar.gupta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit eb23b5ef9131e6d65011de349a4d25ef1b3d4314 upstream. IBRS mitigation for spectre_v2 forces write to MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL at every kernel entry/exit. On Enhanced IBRS parts setting MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL[IBRS] only once at boot is sufficient. MSR writes at every kernel entry/exit incur unnecessary performance loss. When Enhanced IBRS feature is present, print a warning about this unnecessary performance loss.
