From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx> 3.4.107-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ commit 3b56496865f9f7d9bcb2f93b44c63f274f08e3b6 upstream. This adds the workaround for erratum 793 as a precaution in case not every BIOS implements it. This addresses CVE-2013-6885. Erratum text: [Revision Guide for AMD Family 16h Models 00h-0Fh Processors, document 51810 Rev. 3.04 November 2013] 793 Specific Combination of Writes to Write Combined Memory Types and Locked Instructions May Cause Core Hang Description Under a highly specific and detailed set of internal timing conditions, a locked instruction may trigger a timing sequence whereby the write to a write combined memory type is not flushed, causing the locked instruction to stall indefinitely. Potential Effect on System Processor core hang. Suggested Workaround BIOS should set MSR C001_1020[15] = 1b.

Peter Anvin <hpa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [bwh: Backported to 3.2: - Adjust filename - Venkatesh Srinivas pointed out we should use {rd,wr}msrl_safe() to avoid crashing on KVM. This was fixed upstream by commit 8f86a7373a1c ("x86, AMD: Convert to the new bit access MSR accessors") but that's too much trouble to backport.
