Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86/bugs: Don't fill RSB on VMEXIT with eIBRS+retpoline
Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2024 23:27:50 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2e062b6c142bb3770a0829e2cf21e11e8fb6ae5c.1732087270.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1732087270.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org>
eIBRS protects against RSB underflow/poisoning attacks. Adding
retpoline to the mix doesn't change that. Retpoline has a balanced
CALL/RET anyway.
So the current full RSB filling on VMEXIT with eIBRS+retpoline is
overkill. Disable it (or do the VMEXIT_LITE mitigation if needed).
