x86/speculation/mds: Fix documentation typo

2019-05-14T17:17:14Z

commit 95310e348a321b45fb746c176961d4da72344282 upstream Fix a minor typo in the MDS documentation: "eanbled" -> "enabled". Reported-by: Jeff Bastian Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Documentation: Correct the possible MDS sysfs values

2019-05-14T17:17:14Z

commit ea01668f9f43021b28b3f4d5ffad50106a1e1301 upstream Adjust the last two rows in the table that display possible values when MDS mitigation is enabled. They both were slightly innacurate. In addition, convert the table of possible values and their descriptions to a list-table. The simple table format uses the top border of equals signs to determine cell width which resulted in the first column being far too wide in comparison to the second column that contained the majority of the text.

x86/mds: Add MDSUM variant to the MDS documentation

2019-05-14T17:17:13Z

commit e672f8bf71c66253197e503f75c771dd28ada4a0 upstream Updated the documentation for a new CVE-2019-11091 Microarchitectural Data Sampling Uncacheable Memory (MDSUM) which is a variant of Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS). MDS is a family of side channel attacks on internal buffers in Intel CPUs. MDSUM is a special case of MSBDS, MFBDS and MLPDS. An uncacheable load from memory that takes a fault or assist can leave data in a microarchitectural structure that may later be observed using one of the same methods used by MSBDS, MFBDS or MLPDS. There are no new code changes expected for MDSUM. The existing mitigation for MDS applies to MDSUM as well.

cpu/speculation: Add 'mitigations=' cmdline option

2019-05-14T17:17:13Z

commit 98af8452945c55652de68536afdde3b520fec429 upstream Keeping track of the number of mitigations for all the CPU speculation bugs has become overwhelming for many users. It's getting more and more complicated to decide which mitigations are needed for a given architecture. Complicating matters is the fact that each arch tends to have its own custom way to mitigate the same vulnerability. Most users fall into a few basic categories: a) they want all mitigations off; b) they want all reasonable mitigations on, with SMT enabled even if it's vulnerable; or c) they want all reasonable mitigations on, with SMT disabled if vulnerable. Define a set of curated, arch-independent options, each of which is an aggregation of existing options: - mitigations=off: Disable all mitigations. - mitigations=auto: [default] Enable all the default mitigations, but leave SMT enabled, even if it's vulnerable. - mitigations=auto,nosmt: Enable all the default mitigations, disabling SMT if needed by a mitigation. Currently, these options are placeholders which don't actually do anything. They will be fleshed out in upcoming patches.

x86/speculation/mds: Print SMT vulnerable on MSBDS with mitigations off

2019-05-14T17:17:13Z

commit e2c3c94788b08891dcf3dbe608f9880523ecd71b upstream This code is only for CPUs which are affected by MSBDS, but are *not* affected by the other two MDS issues. For such CPUs, enabling the mds_idle_clear mitigation is enough to mitigate SMT. However if user boots with 'mds=off' and still has SMT enabled, we should not report that SMT is mitigated: $cat /sys//devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/mds Vulnerable; SMT mitigated But rather: Vulnerable; SMT vulnerable Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Reviewed-by: Tyler Hicks Reviewed-by: Josh Poimboeuf Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190412215118.294906495@localhost.localdomain Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
