[RFC 09/10] x86/enter: Create macros to restrict/unrestrict Indirect Branch Speculation

From: KarimAllah Ahmed
Date: Sat Jan 20 2018 - 14:25:15 EST


From: Tim Chen <tim.c.chen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Create macros to control Indirect Branch Speculation.

Name them so they reflect what they are actually doing.
The macros are used to restrict and unrestrict the indirect branch speculation.
They do not *disable* (or *enable*) indirect branch speculation. A trip back to
user-space after *restricting* speculation would still affect the BTB.

Quoting from a commit by Tim Chen:

"""
If IBRS is set, near returns and near indirect jumps/calls will not allow
their predicted target address to be controlled by code that executed in a
less privileged prediction mode *BEFORE* the IBRS mode was last written with
a value of 1 or on another logical processor so long as all Return Stack
Buffer (RSB) entries from the previous less privileged prediction mode are
overwritten.

Thus a near indirect jump/call/return may be affected by code in a less
privileged prediction mode that executed *AFTER* IBRS mode was last written
with a value of 1.
"""

[ tglx: Changed macro names and rewrote changelog ]
[ karahmed: changed macro names *again* and rewrote changelog ]
