Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 10/11] x86/bugs: Don't fill RSB on VMEXIT with eIBRS+retpoline
Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2025 09:31:57 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250414133158.681045-10-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250414133158.681045-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit 18bae0dfec15b24ec14ca17dc18603372f5f254f ]
eIBRS protects against guest->host RSB underflow/poisoning attacks.
Adding retpoline to the mix doesn't change that. Retpoline has a
balanced CALL/RET anyway.
So the current full RSB filling on VMEXIT with eIBRS+retpoline is
overkill. Disable it or do the VMEXIT_LITE mitigation if needed.
