commit 7e5b3c267d256822407a22fdce6afdf9cd13f9fb upstream.

SRBDS is an MDS-like speculative side channel that can leak bits from the
random number generator (RNG) across cores and threads. New microcode
serializes the processor access during the execution of RDRAND and
RDSEED. This ensures that the shared buffer is overwritten before it is
released for reuse.

While it is present on all affected CPU models, the microcode mitigation
is not needed on models that enumerate ARCH_CAPABILITIES[MDS_NO] in the
cases where TSX is not supported or has been disabled with TSX_CTRL.

The mitigation is activated by default on affected processors and it
increases latency for RDRAND and RDSEED instructions. Among other
effects this will reduce throughput from /dev/urandom.

* Enable administrator to configure the mitigation off when desired using
  either mitigations=off or srbds=off.

* Export vulnerability status via sysfs

* Rename file-scoped macros to apply for non-whitelist table initializations.

commit e9d7144597b10ff13ff2264c059f7d4a7fbc89ac upstream.

Intel uses the same family/model for several CPUs. Sometimes the
stepping must be checked to tell them apart.

On x86 there can be at most 16 steppings. Add a steppings bitmask to
x86_cpu_id and a X86_MATCH_VENDOR_FAMILY_MODEL_STEPPING_FEATURE macro
and support for matching against family/model/stepping.

commit b399151cb48db30ad1e0e93dd40d68c6d007b637 upstream.

x86_mask is a confusing name which is hard to associate with the
processor's stepping.

Additionally, correct an indent issue in lib/cpu.c.

commit 5efc6fa9044c3356d6046c6e1da6d02572dbed6b upstream.

/proc/cpuinfo currently reports Hardware Lock Elision (HLE) feature to
be present on boot cpu even if it was disabled during the bootup. This
is because cpuinfo_x86-&gt;x86_capability HLE bit is not updated after TSX
state is changed via the new MSR IA32_TSX_CTRL.

Update the cached HLE bit also since it is expected to change after an
update to CPUID_CLEAR bit in MSR IA32_TSX_CTRL.

commit 64870ed1b12e235cfca3f6c6da75b542c973ff78 upstream.

For MDS vulnerable processors with TSX support, enabling either MDS or
TAA mitigations will enable the use of VERW to flush internal processor
buffers at the right code path. IOW, they are either both mitigated
or both not. However, if the command line options are inconsistent,
the vulnerabilites sysfs files may not report the mitigation status
correctly.

For example, with only the "mds=off" option:

  vulnerabilities/mds:Vulnerable; SMT vulnerable
  vulnerabilities/tsx_async_abort:Mitigation: Clear CPU buffers; SMT vulnerable

The mds vulnerabilities file has wrong status in this case. Similarly,
the taa vulnerability file will be wrong with mds mitigation on, but
taa off.

Change taa_select_mitigation() to sync up the two mitigation status
and have them turned off if both "mds=off" and "tsx_async_abort=off"
are present.

Update documentation to emphasize the fact that both "mds=off" and
"tsx_async_abort=off" have to be specified together for processors that
are affected by both TAA and MDS to be effective.

commit e431e79b60603079d269e0c2a5177943b95fa4b6 upstream.

This saves us writing the IBS control MSR twice when disabling the
event.

I searched revision guides for all families since 10h, and did not
find occurrence of erratum #420, nor anything remotely similar:
so we isolate the secondary MSR write to family 10h only.

Also unconditionally update the count mask for IBS Op implementations
that have read &amp; writeable current count (CurCnt) fields in addition
to the MaxCnt field.  These bits were reserved on prior
implementations, and therefore shouldn't have negative impact.

<title>perf/x86/amd/ibs: Fix reading of the IBS OpData register and thus precise RIP validity</title>

commit 317b96bb14303c7998dbcd5bc606bd8038fdd4b4 upstream.

The loop that reads all the IBS MSRs into *buf stopped one MSR short of
reading the IbsOpData register, which contains the RipInvalid status bit.

Fix the offset_max assignment so the MSR gets read, so the RIP invalid
evaluation is based on what the IBS h/w output, instead of what was
left in memory.

<title>x86/speculation/mds: Apply more accurate check on hypervisor platform</title>

commit 517c3ba00916383af6411aec99442c307c23f684 upstream.

X86_HYPER_NATIVE isn't accurate for checking if running on native platform,
e.g. CONFIG_HYPERVISOR_GUEST isn't set or "nopv" is enabled.

Checking the CPU feature bit X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR to determine if it's
running on native platform is more accurate.

This still doesn't cover the platforms on which X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR is
unsupported, e.g. VMware, but there is nothing which can be done about this
scenario.
