Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.13 25/34] x86/bugs: Don't fill RSB on context switch with eIBRS
Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2025 09:27:19 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250414132729.679254-25-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250414132729.679254-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 27ce8299bc1ec6df8306073785ff82b30b3cc5ee ]

User->user Spectre v2 attacks (including RSB) across context switches
are already mitigated by IBPB in cond_mitigation(), if enabled globally
or if either the prev or the next task has opted in to protection.  RSB
filling without IBPB serves no purpose for protecting user space, as
indirect branches are still vulnerable.

User->kernel RSB attacks are mitigated by eIBRS.  In which case the RSB
filling on context switch isn't needed, so remove it.
