Subject: [PATCH 6.6 06/32] x86/bugs: Report correct retbleed mitigation status
Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2025 15:01:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251031140042.556712162@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251031140042.387255981@linuxfoundation.org>
6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: David Kaplan <david.kaplan@amd.com>
[ Upstream commit 930f2361fe542a00de9ce6070b1b6edb976f1165 ]
On Intel CPUs, the default retbleed mitigation is IBRS/eIBRS but this
requires that a similar spectre_v2 mitigation is applied. If the user
selects a different spectre_v2 mitigation (like spectre_v2=retpoline) a
warning is printed but sysfs will still report 'Mitigation: IBRS' or
'Mitigation: Enhanced IBRS'. This is incorrect because retbleed is not
mitigated, and IBRS is not actually set.
Fix this by choosing RETBLEED_MITIGATION_NONE in this scenario so the
kernel correctly reports the system as vulnerable to retbleed.
