[PATCH 5.4 12/15] x86/speculation/srbds: Update SRBDS mitigation selection

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

 



From: Pawan Gupta <pawan.kumar.gupta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 22cac9c677c95f3ac5c9244f8ca0afdc7c8afb19 upstream

Currently, Linux disables SRBDS mitigation on CPUs not affected by
MDS and have the TSX feature disabled. On such CPUs, secrets cannot
be extracted from CPU fill buffers using MDS or TAA. Without SRBDS
mitigation, Processor MMIO Stale Data vulnerabilities can be used to
extract RDRAND, RDSEED, and EGETKEY data.

Do not disable SRBDS mitigation by default when CPU is also affected by
Processor MMIO Stale Data vulnerabilities.
