From 20c3a2c33e9fdc82e9e8e8d2a6445b3256d20191 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Lendacky Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2018 23:03:54 +0000 Subject: x86/speculation: Add support for STIBP always-on preferred mode Different AMD processors may have different implementations of STIBP. When STIBP is conditionally enabled, some implementations would benefit from having STIBP always on instead of toggling the STIBP bit through MSR writes. This preference is advertised through a CPUID feature bit. When conditional STIBP support is requested at boot and the CPU advertises STIBP always-on mode as preferred, switch to STIBP "on" support. To show that this transition has occurred, create a new spectre_v2_user_mitigation value and a new spectre_v2_user_strings message. The new mitigation value is used in spectre_v2_user_select_mitigation() to print the new mitigation message as well as to return a new string from stibp_state().
