To combat GPZ SP4 "Speculative Store Bypass", Intel have extended their speculative sidechannel mitigations specification as follows: * A feature bit to indicate that Speculative Store Bypass Disable is supported. * A new bit in MSR_SPEC_CTRL which, when set, disables memory disambiguation in the pipeline. * A new bit in MSR_ARCH_CAPABILITIES, which will be set in future hardware, indicating that the hardware is not susceptible to Speculative Store Bypass sidechannels. For contemporary processors, this interface will be implemented via a microcode update. Signed-off-by: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> Reviewed-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>
