Subject: [ 11/48] x86, cpu, amd: Add workaround for family 16h, erratum
 793

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de>

commit 3b56496865f9f7d9bcb2f93b44c63f274f08e3b6 upstream

This adds the workaround for erratum 793 as a precaution in case not
every BIOS implements it.  This addresses CVE-2013-6885.

Erratum text:

[Revision Guide for AMD Family 16h Models 00h-0Fh Processors,
document 51810 Rev. 3.04 November 2013]

793 Specific Combination of Writes to Write Combined Memory Types and
Locked Instructions May Cause Core Hang

Description

Under a highly specific and detailed set of internal timing
conditions, a locked instruction may trigger a timing sequence whereby
the write to a write combined memory type is not flushed, causing the
locked instruction to stall indefinitely.

Potential Effect on System

Processor core hang.

Suggested Workaround

BIOS should set MSR
C001_1020[15] = 1b.

Fix Planned

No fix planned

[ hpa: updated description, fixed typo in MSR name ]

[bwh: Backported to 3.2:
 - Adjust filename
 - Venkatesh Srinivas pointed out we should use {rd,wr}msrl_safe() to
   avoid crashing on KVM.  This was fixed upstream by commit 8f86a7373a1c
   ("x86, AMD: Convert to the new bit access MSR accessors") but that's too
   much trouble to backport.  Here we must use {rd,wr}msrl_amd_safe().]
