From 02428d0366a27c2f33bc4361eb10467777804f29 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Poimboeuf Date: Mon, 4 Sep 2023 22:04:47 -0700 Subject: x86/srso: Don't probe microcode in a guest MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit To support live migration, the hypervisor sets the "lowest common denominator" of features. Probing the microcode isn't allowed because any detected features might go away after a migration. As Andy Cooper states: "Linux must not probe microcode when virtualised.  What it may see instantaneously on boot (owing to MSR_PRED_CMD being fully passed through) is not accurate for the lifetime of the VM." Rely on the hypervisor to set the needed IBPB_BRTYPE and SBPB bits.
