From 80e4c1cd42fff110bfdae8fce7ac4f22465f9664 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2022 13:11:19 +0200 Subject: x86/retbleed: Add X86_FEATURE_CALL_DEPTH Intel SKL CPUs fall back to other predictors when the RSB underflows. The only microcode mitigation is IBRS which is insanely expensive. It comes with performance drops of up to 30% depending on the workload. A way less expensive, but nevertheless horrible mitigation is to track the call depth in software and overeagerly fill the RSB when returns underflow the software counter. Provide a configuration symbol and a CPU misfeature bit.
