Pull x86 MDS mitigations from Thomas Gleixner: "Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS) is a hardware vulnerability which allows unprivileged speculative access to data which is available in various CPU internal buffers. This new set of misfeatures has the following CVEs assigned: CVE-2018-12126 MSBDS Microarchitectural Store Buffer Data Sampling CVE-2018-12130 MFBDS Microarchitectural Fill Buffer Data Sampling CVE-2018-12127 MLPDS Microarchitectural Load Port Data Sampling CVE-2019-11091 MDSUM Microarchitectural Data Sampling Uncacheable Memory MDS attacks target microarchitectural buffers which speculatively forward data under certain conditions. Disclosure gadgets can expose this data via cache side channels. Contrary to other speculation based vulnerabilities the MDS vulnerability does not allow the attacker to control the memory target address. As a consequence the attacks are purely sampling based, but as demonstrated with the TLBleed attack samples can be postprocessed successfully. The mitigation is to flush the microarchitectural buffers on return to user space and before entering a VM. It's bolted on the VERW instruction and requires a microcode update. As some of the attacks exploit data structures shared between hyperthreads, full protection requires to disable hyperthreading. The kernel does not do that by default to avoid breaking unattended updates. The mitigation set comes with documentation for administrators and a deeper technical view" * 'x86-mds-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (23 commits) x86/speculation/mds: Fix documentation typo Documentation: Correct the possible MDS sysfs values x86/mds: Add MDSUM variant to the MDS documentation x86/speculation/mds: Add 'mitigations=' support for MDS x86/speculation/mds: Print SMT vulnerable on MSBDS with mitigations off x86/speculation/mds: Fix comment x86/speculation/mds: Add SMT warning message x86/speculation: Move arch_smt_update() call to after mitigation decisions x86/speculation/mds: Add mds=full,nosmt cmdline option Documentation: Add MDS vulnerability documentation Documentation: Move L1TF to separate directory x86/speculation/mds: Add mitigation mode VMWERV x86/speculation/mds: Add sysfs reporting for MDS x86/speculation/mds: Add mitigation control for MDS x86/speculation/mds: Conditionally clear CPU buffers on idle entry x86/kvm/vmx: Add MDS protection when L1D Flush is not active x86/speculation/mds: Clear CPU buffers on exit to user x86/speculation/mds: Add mds_clear_cpu_buffers() x86/kvm: Expose X86_FEATURE_MD_CLEAR to guests x86/speculation/mds: Add BUG_MSBDS_ONLY ...

Description: Discover cpuidle policy and mechanism
|
|
|
|
Various CPUs today support multiple idle levels that are
|
|
differentiated by varying exit latencies and power
|
|
consumption during idle.
|
|
|
|
Idle policy (governor) is differentiated from idle mechanism
|
|
(driver)
|
|
|
|
current_driver: (RO) displays current idle mechanism
|
|
|
|
current_governor_ro: (RO) displays current idle policy
|
|
|
|
With the cpuidle_sysfs_switch boot option enabled (meant for
|
|
developer testing), the following three attributes are visible
|
|
instead:
|
|
|
|
current_driver: same as described above
|
|
|
|
available_governors: (RO) displays a space separated list of

available governors
|

current_governor: (RW) displays current idle policy. Users can

switch the governor at runtime by writing to this file.

the effect of the disable variable depends on the implementation

|
it is not coherent, i.e. if one is disabling a light state, then
|
|
all deeper states are disabled as well, but the disable variable
|
|
does not reflect it. Likewise, if one enables a deep state but a
|
|
lighter state still is disabled, then this has no effect.

freqdomain_cpus is the list of CPUs (online+offline) that share

That information may be hidden from the cpufreq core and the

|
value of related_cpus may be different from freqdomain_cpus. This

attribute is useful for user space DVFS controllers to get better

power/performance results for platforms using acpi-cpufreq.

Description: Disable L3 cache indices
|
|
|
|
These files exist in every CPU's cache/index3 directory. Each
|
|
cache_disable_{0,1} file corresponds to one disable slot which
|
|
can be used to disable a cache index. Reading from these files
|
|
on a processor with this functionality will return the currently
|
|
disabled index for that node. There is one L3 structure per
|
|
node, or per internal node on MCM machines. Writing a valid
|
|
index to one of these files will cause the specificed cache
|
|
index to be disabled.
|
|
|
|
All AMD processors with L3 caches provide this functionality.

Note that id value can be non-contiguous. E.g. level 1

attributes
|
|
|

'cpuX/cpufreq/throttle_stats' directory contains the CPU frequency

throttle stat attributes for the chip. The throttle stats of a cpu
|
|
is common across all the cpus belonging to a chip. Below are the
|
|
throttle attributes exported in the 'throttle_stats' directory:
|
|
|
|
- turbo_stat : This file gives the total number of times the max
|
|
frequency is throttled to lower frequency in turbo (at and above
|
|
nominal frequency) range of frequencies.
|
|
|
|
- sub_turbo_stat : This file gives the total number of times the
|
|
max frequency is throttled to lower frequency in sub-turbo(below
|
|
nominal frequency) range of frequencies.
|
|
|
|
- unthrottle : This file gives the total number of times the max
|
|
frequency is unthrottled after being throttled.
|
|
|
|
- powercap : This file gives the total number of times the max
|
|
frequency is throttled due to 'Power Capping'.
|
|
|
|
- overtemp : This file gives the total number of times the max
|
|
frequency is throttled due to 'CPU Over Temperature'.
|
|
|
|
- supply_fault : This file gives the total number of times the
|
|
max frequency is throttled due to 'Power Supply Failure'.
|
|
|
|
- overcurrent : This file gives the total number of times the
|
|
max frequency is throttled due to 'Overcurrent'.
|
|
|
|
- occ_reset : This file gives the total number of times the max
|
|
frequency is throttled due to 'OCC Reset'.
|
|
|
|
The sysfs attributes representing different throttle reasons like
|
|
powercap, overtemp, supply_fault, overcurrent and occ_reset map to
|
|
the reasons provided by OCC firmware for throttling the frequency.

Description: Information about CPU vulnerabilities
|
|
|
|
The files are named after the code names of CPU
|
|
vulnerabilities. The output of those files reflects the
|
|
state of the CPUs in the system. Possible output values:
|
|
|
|
"Not affected" CPU is not affected by the vulnerability
|
|
"Vulnerable" CPU is affected and no mitigation in effect
|
|
"Mitigation: $M" CPU is affected and mitigation $M is in effect

Description: Control Symetric Multi Threading (SMT)
|
|
|
|
active: Tells whether SMT is active (enabled and siblings online)
|
|
|
|
control: Read/write interface to control SMT. Possible
|
|
values:
|
|
|
|
"on" SMT is enabled
|
|
"off" SMT is disabled
|
|
"forceoff" SMT is force disabled. Cannot be changed.
|
|
"notsupported" SMT is not supported by the CPU
|
|
"notimplemented" SMT runtime toggling is not
|
|
implemented for the architecture
|
|
|
|
If control status is "forceoff" or "notsupported" writes
|
|
are rejected.

Description: Intel Energy and Performance Bias Hint (EPB)
|
|
|
|
EPB for the given CPU in a sliding scale 0 - 15, where a value
|
|
of 0 corresponds to a hint preference for highest performance
|
|
and a value of 15 corresponds to the maximum energy savings.
|
|
|
|
In order to change the EPB value for the CPU, write either
|
|
a number in the 0 - 15 sliding scale above, or one of the
|
|
strings: "performance", "balance-performance", "normal",
|
|
"balance-power", "power" (that represent values reflected by
|
|
their meaning), to this attribute.
|
|
|
|
This attribute is present for all online CPUs supporting the
|
|
Intel EPB feature.
