Subject: [PATCH v3 2/4] x86/speculation: Support "Enhanced IBRS" on future CPUs
The original IBRS hack in microcode is horribly slow. For the next
generation of CPUs, as a stopgap until we get a proper fix, Intel
promise an "Enhanced IBRS" which will be fast.
The assumption is that predictions in the BTB/RSB will be tagged with
the VMX mode and ring that they were learned in, and thus the CPU will
avoid consuming unsafe predictions without a performance penalty.
Intel's documentation says that it is still required to set the IBRS bit
in the SPEC_CTRL MSR and ensure that it remains set.
Cope with this by trapping and emulating *all* access to SPEC_CTRL from
KVM guests when the IBRS_ALL feature is present, so it can never be
turned off. Guests who see IBRS_ALL should never do anything except
turn it on at boot anyway. And if they didn't know about IBRS_ALL and
they keep frobbing IBRS on every kernel entry/exit... well the vmexit
for a no-op is probably going to be faster than they were expecting
anyway, so they'll live.
