commit 04c3024560d3a14acd18d0a51a1d0a89d29b7eb5 upstream.
AMD does not have the requirement for a synchronization barrier when
acccessing a certain group of MSRs. Do not incur that unnecessary
penalty there.
There will be a CPUID bit which explicitly states that a MFENCE is not
needed. Once that bit is added to the APM, this will be extended with
it.
While at it, move to processor.h to avoid include hell. Untangling that
file properly is a matter for another day.
Some notes on the performance aspect of why this is relevant, courtesy
of Kishon VijayAbraham <Kishon.VijayAbraham@amd.com>:
On a AMD Zen4 system with 96 cores, a modified ipi-bench[1] on a VM
shows x2AVIC IPI rate is 3% to 4% lower than AVIC IPI rate. The
ipi-bench is modified so that the IPIs are sent between two vCPUs in the
same CCX. This also requires to pin the vCPU to a physical core to
prevent any latencies. This simulates the use case of pinning vCPUs to
the thread of a single CCX to avoid interrupt IPI latency.
In order to avoid run-to-run variance (for both x2AVIC and AVIC), the
below configurations are done:
1) Disable Power States in BIOS (to prevent the system from going to
lower power state)
2) Run the system at fixed frequency 2500MHz (to prevent the system
from increasing the frequency when the load is more)
With the above configuration:
*) Performance measured using ipi-bench for AVIC:
Average Latency: 1124.98ns [Time to send IPI from one vCPU to another vCPU]
Cumulative throughput: 42.6759M/s [Total number of IPIs sent in a second from
48 vCPUs simultaneously]
*) Performance measured using ipi-bench for x2AVIC:
Average Latency: 1172.42ns [Time to send IPI from one vCPU to another vCPU]
Cumulative throughput: 40.9432M/s [Total number of IPIs sent in a second from
48 vCPUs simultaneously]
From above, x2AVIC latency is ~4% more than AVIC. However, the expectation is
x2AVIC performance to be better or equivalent to AVIC. Upon analyzing
the perf captures, it is observed significant time is spent in
weak_wrmsr_fence() invoked by x2apic_send_IPI().
With the fix to skip weak_wrmsr_fence()
*) Performance measured using ipi-bench for x2AVIC:
Average Latency: 1117.44ns [Time to send IPI from one vCPU to another vCPU]
Cumulative throughput: 42.9608M/s [Total number of IPIs sent in a second from
48 vCPUs simultaneously]
Comparing the performance of x2AVIC with and without the fix, it can be seen
the performance improves by ~4%.
Performance captured using an unmodified ipi-bench using the 'mesh-ipi' option
with and without weak_wrmsr_fence() on a Zen4 system also showed significant
performance improvement without weak_wrmsr_fence(). The 'mesh-ipi' option ignores
CCX or CCD and just picks random vCPU.
Average throughput (10 iterations) with weak_wrmsr_fence(),
Cumulative throughput: 4933374 IPI/s
Average throughput (10 iterations) without weak_wrmsr_fence(),
Cumulative throughput: 6355156 IPI/s

Set this flag if the CPU has an IBPB implementation that does not
invalidate return target predictions. Zen generations < 4 do not flush
the RSB when executing an IBPB and this bug flag denotes that.

commit ff898623af2ed564300752bba83a680a1e4fec8d upstream.
AMD's initial implementation of IBPB did not clear the return address
predictor. Beginning with Zen4, AMD's IBPB *does* clear the return address
predictor. This behavior is enumerated by CPUID.80000008H:EBX.IBPB_RET[30].
Define X86_FEATURE_AMD_IBPB_RET for use in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID,
when determining cross-vendor capabilities.

commit 8076fcde016c9c0e0660543e67bff86cb48a7c9c upstream.
RFDS is a CPU vulnerability that may allow userspace to infer kernel
stale data previously used in floating point registers, vector registers
and integer registers. RFDS only affects certain Intel Atom processors.
Intel released a microcode update that uses VERW instruction to clear
the affected CPU buffers. Unlike MDS, none of the affected cores support
SMT.
Add RFDS bug infrastructure and enable the VERW based mitigation by
default, that clears the affected buffers just before exiting to
userspace. Also add sysfs reporting and cmdline parameter
"reg_file_data_sampling" to control the mitigation.
For details see:
Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln/reg-file-data-sampling.rst
[ pawan: - Resolved conflicts in sysfs reporting.
- s/ATOM_GRACEMONT/ALDERLAKE_N/ATOM_GRACEMONT is called

commit baf8361e54550a48a7087b603313ad013cc13386 upstream.
MDS mitigation requires clearing the CPU buffers before returning to
user. This needs to be done late in the exit-to-user path. Current
location of VERW leaves a possibility of kernel data ending up in CPU
buffers for memory accesses done after VERW such as:
1. Kernel data accessed by an NMI between VERW and return-to-user can
remain in CPU buffers since NMI returning to kernel does not
execute VERW to clear CPU buffers.
2. Alyssa reported that after VERW is executed,
CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK=y scrubs the stack used by a system
call. Memory accesses during stack scrubbing can move kernel stack
contents into CPU buffers.
3. When caller saved registers are restored after a return from
function executing VERW, the kernel stack accesses can remain in
CPU buffers(since they occur after VERW).
To fix this VERW needs to be moved very late in exit-to-user path.
In preparation for moving VERW to entry/exit asm code, create macros
that can be used in asm. Also make VERW patching depend on a new feature
flag X86_FEATURE_CLEAR_CPU_BUF.
[pawan: - Runtime patch jmp instead of verw in macro CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS
due to lack of relative addressing support for relocations
in kernels < v6.5.
- Add UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY to avoid warning:

commit e7862eda309ecfccc36bb5558d937ed3ace07f3f upstream.
The AMD Zen4 core supports a new feature called Automatic IBRS.
It is a "set-and-forget" feature that means that, like Intel's Enhanced IBRS,
h/w manages its IBRS mitigation resources automatically across CPL transitions.
The feature is advertised by CPUID_Fn80000021_EAX bit 8 and is enabled by
setting MSR C000_0080 (EFER) bit 21.
Enable Automatic IBRS by default if the CPU feature is present. It typically
provides greater performance over the incumbent generic retpolines mitigation.
Reuse the SPECTRE_V2_EIBRS spectre_v2_mitigation enum. AMD Automatic IBRS and
Intel Enhanced IBRS have similar enablement. Add NO_EIBRS_PBRSB to
cpu_vuln_whitelist, since AMD Automatic IBRS isn't affected by PBRSB-eIBRS.
The kernel command line option spectre_v2=eibrs is used to select AMD Automatic
IBRS, if available.
