commit 772439717dbf703b39990be58d8d4e3e4ad0598a upstream Intel CPUs expose methods to: - Detect whether RDS capability is available via CPUID.7.0.EDX[31], - The SPEC_CTRL MSR(0x48), bit 2 set to enable RDS. - MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES, Bit(4) no need to enable RRS. With that in mind if spec_store_bypass_disable=[auto,on] is selected set at boot-time the SPEC_CTRL MSR to enable RDS if the platform requires it. Note that this does not fix the KVM case where the SPEC_CTRL is exposed to guests which can muck with it, see patch titled : KVM/SVM/VMX/x86/spectre_v2: Support the combination of guest and host IBRS. And for the firmware (IBRS to be set), see patch titled: x86/spectre_v2: Read SPEC_CTRL MSR during boot and re-use reserved bits [ tglx: Distangled it from the intel implementation and kept the call order ] Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reviewed-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
