x86/cpufeatures: Define X86_FEATURE_AMD_IBPB_RET

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

 



From: Jim Mattson <jmattson@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit ff898623af2ed564300752bba83a680a1e4fec8d upstream.

AMD's initial implementation of IBPB did not clear the return address
predictor. Beginning with Zen4, AMD's IBPB *does* clear the return address
predictor. This behavior is enumerated by CPUID.80000008H:EBX.IBPB_RET[30].

Define X86_FEATURE_AMD_IBPB_RET for use in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID,
when determining cross-vendor capabilities.
