Subject: [PATCH v6 00/13] x86/bugs: Add a separate config for each mitigation
Currently, the CONFIG_SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS is halfway populated,
where some mitigations have entries in Kconfig, and they could be
modified, while others mitigations do not have Kconfig entries, and
could not be controlled at build time.
The fact of having a fine grained control can help in a few ways:
1) Users can choose and pick only mitigations that are important for
their workloads.
2) Users and developers can choose to disable mitigations that mangle
the assembly code generation, making it hard to read.
3) Separate configs for just source code readability,
so that we see *which* butt-ugly piece of crap code is for what
reason.
Important to say, if a mitigation is disabled at compilation time, it
could be enabled at runtime using kernel command line arguments.
Discussion about this approach:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wjTHeQjsqtHcBGvy9TaJQ5uAm5HrCDuOD9v7qA9U1Xr4w@mail.gmail.com/
and
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20231011044252.42bplzjsam3qsasz@treble/
In order to get the missing mitigations, some clean up was done.
1) Get a namespace for mitigations, prepending MITIGATION to the Kconfig
entries.
2) Adding the missing mitigations, so, the mitigations have entries in the
Kconfig that could be easily configure by the user.
With this patchset applied, all configs have an individual entry under
CONFIG_SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS, and all of them starts with CONFIG_MITIGATION.
Changelog
---------
V1:
* Creates a way to mitigate all (or none) hardware bugs
V2:
* Create KCONFIGs entries only some hardware bugs (MDS, TAA, MMIO)
V3:
* Expand the mitigations KCONFIGs to all hardware bugs that are
Linux mitigates.
V4:
* Patch rebase.
* Better documentation about the reasons of this decision.
V5:
* Create a "MITIGATION" Kconfig namespace for the entries mitigating
hardware bugs.
* Add GDS to the set of mitigations that are being covered.
* Reduce the ifdefs in the code by leveraging conditionals with omitted
operands.
V6:
* Reference documentation RST files from Kconfig entries
* Fix some grammar mistakes and Kconfig dependencies
* Now spectre v2 user depends on CONFIG_MITIGATION_SPECTRE_V2. See
patch "spectre_v2_user default mode depends on Kconfig"
