commit 400331f8ffa3bec5c561417e5eec6848464e9160 upstream.

A microcode update on some Intel processors causes all TSX transactions
to always abort by default[*]. Microcode also added functionality to
re-enable TSX for development purposes. With this microcode loaded, if
tsx=on was passed on the cmdline, and TSX development mode was already
enabled before the kernel boot, it may make the system vulnerable to TSX
Asynchronous Abort (TAA).

To be on safer side, unconditionally disable TSX development mode during
boot. If a viable use case appears, this can be revisited later.

  [*]: Intel TSX Disable Update for Selected Processors, doc ID: 643557

To pick the changes from:

  d45476d983240937 ("x86/speculation: Rename RETPOLINE_AMD to RETPOLINE_LFENCE")

Its just a comment fixup.

This only causes these perf files to be rebuilt:

  CC       /tmp/build/perf/bench/mem-memset-x86-64-asm.o

And addresses this perf build warning:

Pull x86 spectre fixes from Borislav Petkov:

 - Mitigate Spectre v2-type Branch History Buffer attacks on machines
   which support eIBRS, i.e., the hardware-assisted speculation
   restriction after it has been shown that such machines are vulnerable
   even with the hardware mitigation.

 - Do not use the default LFENCE-based Spectre v2 mitigation on AMD as
   it is insufficient to mitigate such attacks. Instead, switch to
   retpolines on all AMD by default.

 - Update the docs and add some warnings for the obviously vulnerable
   cmdline configurations.

Now one can trace systemwide asking to see backtraces to where those
MSRs are being read/written with:

  # perf trace -e msr:*_msr/max-stack=32/ --filter="msr&gt;=AMD64_SVM_AVIC_DOORBELL &amp;&amp; msr&lt;=AMD64_SEV_ES_GHCB"
  ^C#

If we use -v (verbose mode) we can see what it does behind the scenes:

  # perf trace -v -e msr:*_msr/max-stack=32/ --filter="msr&gt;=AMD64_SVM_AVIC_DOORBELL &amp;&amp; msr&lt;=AMD64_SEV_ES_GHCB"

Now one can trace systemwide asking to see backtraces to where those
MSRs are being read/written with:

  # perf trace -e msr:*_msr/max-stack=32/ --filter="msr&gt;=AMD64_SVM_AVIC_DOORBELL &amp;&amp; msr&lt;=AMD64_SEV_ES_GHCB"
  ^C#

If we use -v (verbose mode) we can see what it does behind the scenes:

  # perf trace -v -e msr:*_msr/max-stack=32/ --filter="msr&gt;=AMD64_SVM_AVIC_DOORBELL &amp;&amp; msr&lt;=AMD64_SEV_ES_GHCB"
  Using CPUID AuthenticAMD-25-21-0
  0xc001011b
  0xc0010130
  New filter for msr:read_msr: (msr&gt;=0xc001011b &amp;&amp; msr&lt;=0xc0010130) &amp;&amp; (common_pid != 1019953 &amp;&amp; common_pid != 3629)
  0xc001011b
  0xc0010130
  New filter for msr:write_msr: (msr&gt;=0xc001011b &amp;&amp; msr&lt;=0xc0010130) &amp;&amp; (common_pid != 1019953 &amp;&amp; common_pid != 3629)
  mmap size 528384B
  ^C#

  Example with a frequent msr:

    # perf trace -v -e msr:*_msr/max-stack=32/ --filter="msr==IA32_SPEC_CTRL" --max-events 2
    Using CPUID AuthenticAMD-25-21-0
    0x48
    New filter for msr:read_msr: (msr==0x48) &amp;&amp; (common_pid != 2612129 &amp;&amp; common_pid != 3841)
    0x48
    New filter for msr:write_msr: (msr==0x48) &amp;&amp; (common_pid != 2612129 &amp;&amp; common_pid != 3841)
    mmap size 528384B

<title>x86/speculation: Rename RETPOLINE_AMD to RETPOLINE_LFENCE</title>

<content type='text'>
The RETPOLINE_AMD name is unfortunate since it isn't necessarily
AMD only, in fact Hygon also uses it. Furthermore it will likely be
sufficient for some Intel processors. Therefore rename the thing to
RETPOLINE_LFENCE to better describe what it is.

Add the spectre_v2=retpoline,lfence option as an alias to
spectre_v2=retpoline,amd to preserve existing setups. However, the output
of /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v2 will be changed.

the strings in filter expressions:
