v2: - This includes the backport of recently upstreamed mitigation of a CPU vulnerability Register File Data Sampling (RFDS) (CVE-2023-28746). This is because RFDS has a dependency on "Delay VERW" series, and it is convenient to merge them together. - rebased to v5.15.151 v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240304-delay-verw-backport-5-15-y-v1-0-fd02afc00fec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This is the backport of recently upstreamed series that moves VERW execution to a later point in exit-to-user path. This is needed because in some cases it may be possible for data accessed after VERW executions may end into MDS affected CPU buffers. Moving VERW closer to ring transition reduces the attack surface. - The series includes a dependency commit f87bc8dc7a7c ("x86/asm: Add _ASM_RIP() macro for x86-64 (%rip) suffix"). - Patch 2 includes a change that adds runtime patching for jmp (instead of verw in original series) due to lack of rip-relative relocation support in kernels <v6.5. - Fixed warning: arch/x86/entry/entry.o: warning: objtool: mds_verw_sel+0x0: unreachable instruction. - Resolved merge conflicts in: swapgs_restore_regs_and_return_to_usermode in entry_64.S. __vmx_vcpu_run in vmenter.S. vmx_update_fb_clear_dis in vmx.c. - Boot tested with KASLR and KPTI enabled. - Verified VERW being executed with mitigation ON, and not being executed with mitigation turned OFF.
