From 6ec6d45454123ca5281f2f4aea68235c6b0770fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Wed, 17 Jul 2019 21:18:59 +0200 Subject: x86/speculation/swapgs: Exclude ATOMs from speculation through SWAPGS commit f36cf386e3fec258a341d446915862eded3e13d8 upstream Intel provided the following information: On all current Atom processors, instructions that use a segment register value (e.g. a load or store) will not speculatively execute before the last writer of that segment retires. Thus they will not use a speculatively written segment value. That means on ATOMs there is no speculation through SWAPGS, so the SWAPGS entry paths can be excluded from the extra LFENCE if PTI is disabled. Create a separate bug flag for the through SWAPGS speculation and mark all out-of-order ATOMs and AMD/HYGON CPUs as not affected. The in-order ATOMs are excluded from the whole mitigation mess anyway.
