Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/retpoline: Only set RETPOLINE_AMD if LFENCE is serializing
Date: Tue, 09 Jan 2018 18:39:31 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180110003931.32411.55646.stgit@tlendack-t1.amdoffice.net> (raw)
The RETPOLINE_AMD feature relies on a serializing LFENCE for speculation
control. For AMD hardware, only set RETPOLINE_AMD if LFENCE is a
serializing instruction, which is indicated by the LFENCE_RDTSC feature.
The call to spectre_v2_check_boottime_disable() is currently before the
boot CPU is identified and, therefore, able to set the LFENCE_RDTSC
feature. Move the call to spectre_v2_check_boottime_disable() to after
identify_boot_cpu() in check_bugs().
Also, protect against specifying spectre_v2=retpoline,amd for non-AMD
hardware and fall-back to the generic retpoline.
