From 5bfbe3ad5840d941b89bcac54b821ba14f50a0ba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tim Chen Date: Sun, 25 Nov 2018 19:33:46 +0100 Subject: x86/speculation: Prepare for per task indirect branch speculation control To avoid the overhead of STIBP always on, it's necessary to allow per task control of STIBP. Add a new task flag TIF_SPEC_IB and evaluate it during context switch if SMT is active and flag evaluation is enabled by the speculation control code. Add the conditional evaluation to x86_virt_spec_ctrl() as well so the guest/host switch works properly. This has no effect because TIF_SPEC_IB cannot be set yet and the static key which controls evaluation is off. Preparatory patch for adding the control code. [ tglx: Simplify the context switch logic and make the TIF evaluation depend on SMP=y and on the static key controlling the conditional update. Rename it to TIF_SPEC_IB because it controls both STIBP and IBPB ] Signed-off-by: Tim Chen Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Reviewed-by: Ingo Molnar Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Jiri Kosina Cc: Tom Lendacky Cc: Josh Poimboeuf Cc: Andrea Arcangeli Cc: David Woodhouse Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Dave Hansen Cc: Casey Schaufler Cc: Asit Mallick Cc: Arjan van de Ven Cc: Jon Masters Cc: Waiman Long Cc: Greg KH Cc: Dave Stewart Cc: Kees Cook Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181125185005.176917199@linutronix.de --- arch/x86/kernel/process.c | 20 ++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'arch/x86/kernel/process.c') diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/process.c b/arch/x86/kernel/process.c index 70e9832379e1..574b144d2b53 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/process.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/process.c @@ -404,11 +404,17 @@ static __always_inline void amd_set_ssb_virt_state(unsigned long tifn) static __always_inline void __speculation_ctrl_update(unsigned long tifp, unsigned long tifn) { + unsigned long tif_diff = tifp ^ tifn; u64 msr = x86_spec_ctrl_base; bool updmsr = false; - /* If TIF_SSBD is different, select the proper mitigation method */ - if ((tifp ^ tifn) & _TIF_SSBD) { + /* + * If TIF_SSBD is different, select the proper mitigation + * method.
