-Subject: [PATCH 51/51] x86/spec-ctrl: Mitigate Branch Type Confusion when
- possible
-
-Branch Type Confusion affects AMD/Hygon CPUs on Zen2 and earlier. To
-mitigate, we require SMT safety (STIBP on Zen2, no-SMT on Zen1), and to issue
-an IBPB on each entry to Xen, to flush the BTB.
-
-Due to performance concerns, dom0 (which is trusted in most configurations) is
-excluded from protections by default.
-
-Therefore:
- * Use STIBP by default on Zen2 too, which now means we want it on by default
- on all hardware supporting STIBP.
- * Break the current IBPB logic out into a new function, extending it with
- IBPB-at-entry logic.
- * Change the existing IBPB-at-ctxt-switch boolean to be tristate, and disable
- it by default when IBPB-at-entry is providing sufficient safety.
-
-If all PV guests on the system are trusted, then it is recommended to boot
-with `spec-ctrl=ibpb-entry=no-pv`, as this will provide an additional marginal
-perf improvement.
-
-This is part of XSA-407 / CVE-2022-23825.
