AMD Erratum 1386 is summarised as:

  XSAVES Instruction May Fail to Save XMM Registers to the Provided
  State Save Area

This piece of accidental chronomancy causes the %xmm registers to
occasionally reset back to an older value.

Ignore the XSAVES feature on all AMD Zen1/2 hardware.  The XSAVEC
instruction (which works fine) is equivalent on affected parts.

  [ bp: Typos, move it into the F17h-specific function. ]

<title>x86/amd: Cache debug register values in percpu variables</title>

Reading DR[0-3]_ADDR_MASK MSRs takes about 250 cycles which is going to
be noticeable with the AMD KVM SEV-ES DebugSwap feature enabled.  KVM is
going to store host's DR[0-3] and DR[0-3]_ADDR_MASK before switching to
a guest; the hardware is going to swap these on VMRUN and VMEXIT.

Store MSR values passed to set_dr_addr_mask() in percpu variables
(when changed) and return them via new amd_get_dr_addr_mask().
The gain here is about 10x.

As set_dr_addr_mask() uses the array too, change the @dr type to
unsigned to avoid checking for &lt;0. And give it the amd_ prefix to match
the new helper as the whole DR_ADDR_MASK feature is AMD-specific anyway.

While at it, replace deprecated boot_cpu_has() with cpu_feature_enabled()
in set_dr_addr_mask().

<title>x86/cpu, kvm: Move X86_FEATURE_LFENCE_RDTSC to its native leaf</title>

The LFENCE always serializing feature bit was defined as scattered
LFENCE_RDTSC and its native leaf bit position open-coded for KVM.  Add
it to its newly added CPUID leaf 0x80000021 EAX proper.  With
LFENCE_RDTSC in its proper place, the kernel's set_cpu_cap() will
effectively synthesize the feature for KVM going forward.

Also, DE_CFG[1] doesn't need to be set on such CPUs anymore.

Pull x86 cpu updates from Borislav Petkov:

 - Split MTRR and PAT init code to accomodate at least Xen PV and TDX
   guests which do not get MTRRs exposed but only PAT. (TDX guests do
   not support the cache disabling dance when setting up MTRRs so they
   fall under the same category)

   This is a cleanup work to remove all the ugly workarounds for such
   guests and init things separately (Juergen Gross)

 - Add two new Intel CPUs to the list of CPUs with "normal" Energy
   Performance Bias, leading to power savings

 - Do not do bus master arbitration in C3 (ARB_DISABLE) on modern
   Centaur CPUs

DE_CFG contains the LFENCE serializing bit, restore it on resume too.
This is relevant to older families due to the way how they do S3.

The prandom_u32() function has been a deprecated inline wrapper around
get_random_u32() for several releases now, and compiles down to the
exact same code. Replace the deprecated wrapper with a direct call to
the real function. The same also applies to get_random_int(), which is
just a wrapper around get_random_u32(). This was done as a basic find
and replace.

<title>x86/rdrand: Remove "nordrand" flag in favor of "random.trust_cpu"</title>

<id>049f9ae93d033be6758ad865a9b89650f9f075ec</id>
<content type='text'>
The decision of whether or not to trust RDRAND is controlled by the
"random.trust_cpu" boot time parameter or the CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU
compile time default. The "nordrand" flag was added during the early
days of RDRAND, when there were worries that merely using its values
could compromise the RNG. However, these days, RDRAND values are not
used directly but always go through the RNG's hash function, making
"nordrand" no longer useful.

Rather, the correct switch is "random.trust_cpu", which not only handles
the relevant trust issue directly, but also is general to multiple CPU
types, not just x86.

However, x86 RDRAND does have a history of being occasionally
problematic. Prior, when the kernel would notice something strange, it'd
warn in dmesg and suggest enabling "nordrand". We can improve on that by
making the test a little bit better and then taking the step of
automatically disabling RDRAND if we detect it's problematic.

Also disable RDSEED if the RDRAND test fails.

Do fine-grained Kconfig for all the various retbleed parts.

NOTE: if your compiler doesn't support return thunks this will
silently 'upgrade' your mitigation to IBPB, you might not like this.

BTC_NO indicates that hardware is not susceptible to Branch Type Confusion.

Zen3 CPUs don't suffer BTC.

Hypervisors are expected to synthesise BTC_NO when it is appropriate
given the migration pool, to prevent kernels using heuristics.
