[PATCH 3.16 32/86] x86/speculation: Enable cross-hyperthread spectre v2 STIBP mitigation

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

 



3.16.68-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@xxxxxxx>

commit 53c613fe6349994f023245519265999eed75957f upstream.

STIBP is a feature provided by certain Intel ucodes / CPUs. This feature
(once enabled) prevents cross-hyperthread control of decisions made by
indirect branch predictors.

Enable this feature if

- the CPU is vulnerable to spectre v2
- the CPU supports SMT and has SMT siblings online
- spectre_v2 mitigation autoselection is enabled (default)

After some previous discussion, this leaves STIBP on all the time, as wrmsr
on crossing kernel boundary is a no-no. This could perhaps later be a bit
more optimized (like disabling it in NOHZ, experiment with disabling it in
idle, etc) if needed.

Note that the synchronization of the mask manipulation via newly added
spec_ctrl_mutex is currently not strictly needed, as the only updater is
already being serialized by cpu_add_remove_lock, but let's make this a
little bit more future-proof.

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
 - Don't add any calls to arch_smt_update() yet. They will be introduced by
   "x86/speculation: Rework SMT state change".
 - Use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_X86_HT) instead of cpu_smt_control for now. This
   will be fixed by "x86/speculation: Rework SMT state change".]
