[PATCH 4.4 56/88] x86/bugs, KVM: Support the combination of guest and host IBRS
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Dec 14 2018 - 07:18:41 EST
4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 5cf687548705412da47c9cec342fd952d71ed3d5 upstream.
A guest may modify the SPEC_CTRL MSR from the value used by the
kernel. Since the kernel doesn't use IBRS, this means a value of zero is
what is needed in the host.
But the 336996-Speculative-Execution-Side-Channel-Mitigations.pdf refers to
the other bits as reserved so the kernel should respect the boot time
SPEC_CTRL value and use that.
This allows to deal with future extensions to the SPEC_CTRL interface if
any at all.
Note: This uses wrmsrl() instead of native_wrmsl(). I does not make any
difference as paravirt will over-write the callq *0xfff.. with the wrmsrl
assembler code.

[bwh: Backported to 4.4: This was partly applied before; apply just the
missing bits]
