Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: use X86_FEATURE_RSB_CTXSW for RSB stuffing in vmexit
Date: Fri, 7 May 2021 11:06:36 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210507150636.94389-1-jon@nutanix.com> (raw)
cpufeatures.h defines X86_FEATURE_RSB_CTXSW as "Fill RSB on context
switches" which seems more accurate than using X86_FEATURE_RETPOLINE
in the vmxexit path for RSB stuffing.
X86_FEATURE_RSB_CTXSW is used for FILL_RETURN_BUFFER in
arch/x86/entry/entry_{32|64}.S. This change makes KVM vmx and svm
follow that same pattern. This pairs up nicely with the language in
bugs.c, where this cpu_cap is enabled, which indicates that RSB
stuffing should be unconditional with spectrev2 enabled.
/*
* If spectre v2 protection has been enabled, unconditionally fill
* RSB during a context switch; this protects against two independent
* issues:
*
* - RSB underflow (and switch to BTB) on Skylake+
* - SpectreRSB variant of spectre v2 on X86_BUG_SPECTRE_V2 CPUs
*/
setup_force_cpu_cap(X86_FEATURE_RSB_CTXSW);
Furthermore, on X86_FEATURE_IBRS_ENHANCED CPUs && SPECTRE_V2_CMD_AUTO,
we're bypassing setting X86_FEATURE_RETPOLINE, where as far as I could
find, we should still be doing RSB stuffing no matter what when
CONFIG_RETPOLINE is enabled and spectrev2 is set to auto.
