Subject: [PATCH 4.19 250/323] x86/cpu: Fix migration safety with X86_BUG_NULL_SEL

From: Jane Malalane <jane.malalane@...rix.com>

commit 415de44076640483648d6c0f6d645a9ee61328ad upstream.

Currently, Linux probes for X86_BUG_NULL_SEL unconditionally which
makes it unsafe to migrate in a virtualised environment as the
properties across the migration pool might differ.

To be specific, the case which goes wrong is:

1. Zen1 (or earlier) and Zen2 (or later) in a migration pool
2. Linux boots on Zen2, probes and finds the absence of X86_BUG_NULL_SEL
3. Linux is then migrated to Zen1

Linux is now running on a X86_BUG_NULL_SEL-impacted CPU while believing
that the bug is fixed.

The only way to address the problem is to fully trust the "no longer
affected" CPUID bit when virtualised, because in the above case it would
be clear deliberately to indicate the fact "you might migrate to
somewhere which has this behaviour".

Zen3 adds the NullSelectorClearsBase CPUID bit to indicate that loading
a NULL segment selector zeroes the base and limit fields, as well as
just attributes. Zen2 also has this behaviour but doesn't have the NSCB
bit.
