[PATCH 4.14 51/95] x86/bugs: Read SPEC_CTRL MSR during boot and re-use reserved bits
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon May 21 2018 - 17:13:22 EST
4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 1b86883ccb8d5d9506529d42dbe1a5257cb30b18 upstream
The 336996-Speculative-Execution-Side-Channel-Mitigations.pdf refers to all
the other bits as reserved. The Intel SDM glossary defines reserved as
implementation specific - aka unknown.
As such at bootup this must be taken it into account and proper masking for
the bits in use applied.
