[PATCH 1/4] x86/retpoline: Add new mode RETPOLINE_UNDERFLOW
From: Andi Kleen
Date: Fri Jan 12 2018 - 13:46:59 EST
From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
On Skylake we want additional protections against spectre_v2
over the normal RETPOLINE against underflowing return buffers.
On return buffer underflow the CPU could fall back to
the poisoned indirect branch predictor.
This is not needed on CPUs before Skylake.
Add a new RETPOLINE_UNDERFLOW that enables the additional
protections.
This is RETPOLINE_GENERIC, but also adds additional mitigations
for return buffer overflow/underflow. It enables a new FEATURE
bit enabling the underflow protection mode.
Automatically select this mode on Skylake
Add a new fill_return_buffer() C function that depends on this
mode. It will be used in follow-on patches.
