Subject: [PATCH] x86/bugs: Fix GDS mitigation check for CPUs without ARCH_CAP_GDS_CTRL
Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2025 11:53:34 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250815035334.4230-1-lirongqing@baidu.com> (raw)
From: Li RongQing <lirongqing@baidu.com>
The commit 8c7261abcb7ad("x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for GDS")
caused call traces during secondary CPU initialization because it didn't
properly handle CPUs that lack the ARCH_CAP_GDS_CTRL capability.
For CPUs without ARCH_CAP_GDS_CTRL support, we should set the mitigation
to GDS_MITIGATION_UCODE_NEEDED rather than GDS_MITIGATION_OFF, as these
CPUs may still be vulnerable but cannot disable mitigation.
Add the missing check for ARCH_CAP_GDS_CTRL to properly determine the
mitigation state for affected CPUs.
