commit b0563468eeac88ebc70559d52a0b66efc37e4e9d upstream. AMD Erratum 1386 is summarised as: XSAVES Instruction May Fail to Save XMM Registers to the Provided State Save Area This piece of accidental chronomancy causes the %xmm registers to occasionally reset back to an older value. Ignore the XSAVES feature on all AMD Zen1/2 hardware. The XSAVEC instruction (which works fine) is equivalent on affected parts. [ bp: Typos, move it into the F17h-specific function. ] Reported-by: Tavis Ormandy <taviso@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov (AMD) <bp@alien8.de> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230307174643.1240184-1-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
