[PATCH 22/35] x86/cpufeatures: Detect Speculation control feature

[Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: x86-feature--Detect_the_x86_IBRS_feature_to_control_Speculation.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3618 bytes --]

From: Tim Chen <tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com>

CPUs can expose a MSR to control speculation. The initial function of this
MSR is to control Indirect Branch Speculation, which is required to
mitigate the Spectre_V2 attack on certain CPU generations.

If CPUID(7).RDX[26] is set then MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL (0x48) is available and
bit 0 of that MSR controls whether Indirect Branch Speculation is
restricted or not. The control bit is named IBRS (Indirect Branch
Restricted Speculation). The IBSR bit can be unconditionally set to 1
without clearing it before.

If IBRS is set, near returns and near indirect jumps/calls will not allow
their predicted target address to be controlled by code that executed in a
less privileged prediction mode before the IBRS mode was last written with
a value of 1 or on another logical processor so long as all Return Stack
Buffer (RSB) entries from the previous less privileged prediction mode are
overwritten.

Thus a near indirect jump/call/return may be affected by code in a less
privileged prediction mode that executed AFTER IBRS mode was last written
with a value of 1.

Code executed by a sibling logical processor cannot control indirect
jump/call/return predicted target when IBRS is set

IBRS is not required in order to isolate branch predictions for SMM or SGX
enclaves.

Enabling IBRS can cause a measurable and depending on the workload
significant CPU performance penalty.
