From: Pawan Gupta <pawan.kumar.gupta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 400331f8ffa3bec5c561417e5eec6848464e9160 upstream. A microcode update on some Intel processors causes all TSX transactions to always abort by default[*]. Microcode also added functionality to re-enable TSX for development purposes. With this microcode loaded, if tsx=on was passed on the cmdline, and TSX development mode was already enabled before the kernel boot, it may make the system vulnerable to TSX Asynchronous Abort (TAA). To be on safer side, unconditionally disable TSX development mode during boot. If a viable use case appears, this can be revisited later.
