Subject: [PATCH v2 0/6] Spectre v2 updates
Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2018 23:39:21 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1518305967-31356-1-git-send-email-dwmw@amazon.co.uk> (raw)
Using retpoline ensures the kernel is safe because it doesn't contain
any indirect branches, but firmware still can — and we make calls into
firmware at runtime. Where the IBRS microcode support is available, use
that before calling into firmware.
While doing that, I noticed that we were calling C functions without
telling the compiler about the call-clobbered registers. Stop that.
This also contains the always_inline fix for the performance problem
introduced by retpoline in KVM code, and fixes some other issues with
the per-vCPU KVM handling for the SPEC_CTRL MSR.
Finally, update the microcode blacklist to reflect the latest
information from Intel.
v2: Drop IBRS_ALL patch for the time being
Add KVM MSR fixes (karahmed)
Update microcode blacklist
David Woodhouse (4):
x86/speculation: Update Speculation Control microcode blacklist
Revert "x86/speculation: Simplify
indirect_branch_prediction_barrier()"
KVM: x86: Reduce retpoline performance impact in
slot_handle_level_range()
x86/speculation: Use IBRS if available before calling into firmware
KarimAllah Ahmed (2):
X86/nVMX: Properly set spec_ctrl and pred_cmd before merging MSRs
KVM/nVMX: Set the CPU_BASED_USE_MSR_BITMAPS if we have a valid L02 MSR
bitmap
