Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 09/27] x86/bugs: Reset speculation control settings on init
Date: Sun, 26 Feb 2023 09:49:56 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230226145014.828855-9-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230226145014.828855-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org>
[ Upstream commit 0125acda7d76b943ca55811df40ed6ec0ecf670f ]
Currently, x86_spec_ctrl_base is read at boot time and speculative bits
are set if Kconfig items are enabled. For example, IBRS is enabled if
CONFIG_CPU_IBRS_ENTRY is configured, etc. These MSR bits are not cleared
if the mitigations are disabled.
This is a problem when kexec-ing a kernel that has the mitigation
disabled from a kernel that has the mitigation enabled. In this case,
the MSR bits are not cleared during the new kernel boot. As a result,
this might have some performance degradation that is hard to pinpoint.
This problem does not happen if the machine is (hard) rebooted because
the bit will be cleared by default.
