From: Pawan Gupta Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2024 12:29:43 -0700 Subject: x86/mmio: Disable KVM mitigation when X86_FEATURE_CLEAR_CPU_BUF is set Origin: https://git.kernel.org/linus/e95df4ec0c0c9791941f112db699fae794b9862a Currently MMIO Stale Data mitigation for CPUs not affected by MDS/TAA is to only deploy VERW at VMentry by enabling mmio_stale_data_clear static branch. No mitigation is needed for kernel->user transitions. If such CPUs are also affected by RFDS, its mitigation may set X86_FEATURE_CLEAR_CPU_BUF to deploy VERW at kernel->user and VMentry. This could result in duplicate VERW at VMentry. Fix this by disabling mmio_stale_data_clear static branch when X86_FEATURE_CLEAR_CPU_BUF is enabled.
