From 22cac9c677c95f3ac5c9244f8ca0afdc7c8afb19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pawan Gupta Date: Thu, 19 May 2022 20:33:13 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86/speculation/srbds: Update SRBDS mitigation selection Currently, Linux disables SRBDS mitigation on CPUs not affected by MDS and have the TSX feature disabled. On such CPUs, secrets cannot be extracted from CPU fill buffers using MDS or TAA. Without SRBDS mitigation, Processor MMIO Stale Data vulnerabilities can be used to extract RDRAND, RDSEED, and EGETKEY data. Do not disable SRBDS mitigation by default when CPU is also affected by Processor MMIO Stale Data vulnerabilities.
