Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/speculation: Add PR_SPEC_DISABLE_NOEXEC
With the default SPEC_STORE_BYPASS_SECCOMP/SPEC_STORE_BYPASS_PRCTL mode,
the TIF_SSBD bit will be inherited when a new task is fork'ed or cloned.
It will also remain when a new program is execve'ed.
Only certain class of applications (like Java) that can run on behalf
of multiple users on a single thread will require disabling speculative
store bypass for security purpose. Those applications will call prctl(2)
at startup time to disable SSB. They won't rely on the fact the SSB might
have been disabled. Other applications that don't need SSBD will just
move on without checking if SSBD has been turned on or not.
The fact that the TIF_SSBD is inherited across execve(2) boundary
will cause performance of applications that don't need SSBD but their
predecessors have SSBD on to be unwittingly impacted especially if they
write to memory a lot.
To remedy this problem, a new PR_SPEC_DISABLE_NOEXEC argument for the
PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL option of prctl(2) is added to allow applications
to specify that the SSBD feature bit on the task structure should be
cleared whenever a new program is being execve'ed.
