Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 5/5] x86/bugs: Don't fill RSB on VMEXIT with eIBRS+retpoline
Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2025 09:32:23 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250414133223.681195-5-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250414133223.681195-1-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.
