Merge tag 'x86-urgent-2022-04-17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "Two x86 fixes related to TSX: - Use either MSR_TSX_FORCE_ABORT or MSR_IA32_TSX_CTRL to disable TSX to cover all CPUs which allow to disable it. - Disable TSX development mode at boot so that a microcode update which provides TSX development mode does not suddenly make the system vulnerable to TSX Asynchronous Abort" * tag 'x86-urgent-2022-04-17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/tsx: Disable TSX development mode at boot x86/tsx: Use MSR_TSX_CTRL to clear CPUID bits

+ * Disabling TSX is not a trivial business.
+ *
+ * First of all, there's a CPUID bit: X86_FEATURE_RTM_ALWAYS_ABORT
+ * which says that TSX is practically disabled (all transactions are
+ * aborted by default). When that bit is set, the kernel unconditionally
+ * disables TSX.
+ *
+ * In order to do that, however, it needs to dance a bit:
+ *
+ * 1. The first method to disable it is through MSR_TSX_FORCE_ABORT and
+ * the MSR is present only when *two* CPUID bits are set:
+ *
+ * - X86_FEATURE_RTM_ALWAYS_ABORT
+ * - X86_FEATURE_TSX_FORCE_ABORT
+ *
+ * 2. The second method is for CPUs which do not have the above-mentioned
+ * MSR: those use a different MSR - MSR_IA32_TSX_CTRL and disable TSX
+ * through that one. Those CPUs can also have the initially mentioned
+ * CPUID bit X86_FEATURE_RTM_ALWAYS_ABORT set and for those the same strategy
+ * applies: TSX gets disabled unconditionally.
+ *
+ * When either of the two methods are present, the kernel disables TSX and
+ * clears the respective RTM and HLE feature flags.
+ *
+ * An additional twist in the whole thing presents late microcode loading
+ * which, when done, may cause for the X86_FEATURE_RTM_ALWAYS_ABORT CPUID
+ * bit to be set after the update.
+ *
+ * A subsequent hotplug operation on any logical CPU except the BSP will
+ * cause for the supported CPUID feature bits to get re-detected and, if
+ * RTM and HLE get cleared all of a sudden, but, userspace did consult
+ * them before the update, then funny explosions will happen. Long story
+ * short: the kernel doesn't modify CPUID feature bits after booting.
+ *
+ * That's why, this function's call in init_intel() doesn't clear the
+ * feature flags.
