x86/cpu: Remove redundant extern x86_read_arch_cap_msr() The prototype for the x86_read_arch_cap_msr() function has moved to arch/x86/include/asm/cpu.h - kill the redundant definition in arch/x86/kernel/cpu.h and include the header.

x86/tsx: Add a feature bit for TSX control MSR support Support for the TSX control MSR is enumerated in MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES. This is different from how other CPU features are enumerated i.e. via CPUID. Currently, a call to tsx_ctrl_is_supported() is required for enumerating the feature. In the absence of a feature bit for TSX control, any code that relies on checking feature bits directly will not work. In preparation for adding a feature bit check in MSR save/restore during suspend/resume, set a new feature bit X86_FEATURE_TSX_CTRL when MSR_IA32_TSX_CTRL is present. Also make tsx_ctrl_is_supported() use the new feature bit to avoid any overhead of reading the MSR. [ bp: Remove tsx_ctrl_is_supported(), add room for two more feature bits in word 11 which are coming up in the next merge window. ] Suggested-by: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Pawan Gupta <pawan.kumar.gupta@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/de619764e1d98afbb7a5fa58424f1278ede37b45.1668539735.git.pawan.kumar.gupta@linux.intel.com

x86/tsx: Disable TSX development mode at boot A microcode update on some Intel processors causes all TSX transactions to always abort by default[*]. Microcode also added functionality to re-enable TSX for development purposes. With this microcode loaded, if tsx=on was passed on the cmdline, and TSX development mode was already enabled before the kernel boot, it may make the system vulnerable to TSX Asynchronous Abort (TAA). To be on safer side, unconditionally disable TSX development mode during boot. If a viable use case appears, this can be revisited later.

x86/cpu: Update cached HLE state on write to TSX_CTRL_CPUID_CLEAR /proc/cpuinfo currently reports Hardware Lock Elision (HLE) feature to be present on boot cpu even if it was disabled during the bootup. This is because cpuinfo_x86->x86_capability HLE bit is not updated after TSX state is changed via the new MSR IA32_TSX_CTRL. Update the cached HLE bit also since it is expected to change after an update to CPUID_CLEAR bit in MSR IA32_TSX_CTRL.

x86/tsx: Add config options to set tsx=on|off|auto There is a general consensus that TSX usage is not largely spread while the history shows there is a non trivial space for side channel attacks possible. Therefore the tsx is disabled by default even on platforms that might have a safe implementation of TSX according to the current knowledge. This is a fair trade off to make. There are, however, workloads that really do benefit from using TSX and updating to a newer kernel with TSX disabled might introduce a noticeable regressions. This would be especially a problem for Linux distributions which will provide TAA mitigations. Introduce config options X86_INTEL_TSX_MODE_OFF, X86_INTEL_TSX_MODE_ON and X86_INTEL_TSX_MODE_AUTO to control the TSX feature. The config setting can be overridden by the tsx cmdline options.

x86/cpu: Add a "tsx=" cmdline option with TSX disabled by default Add a kernel cmdline parameter "tsx" to control the Transactional Synchronization Extensions (TSX) feature. On CPUs that support TSX control, use "tsx=on|off" to enable or disable TSX. Not specifying this option is equivalent to "tsx=off". This is because on certain processors TSX may be used as a part of a speculative side channel attack. Carve out the TSX controlling functionality into a separate compilation unit because TSX is a CPU feature while the TSX async abort control machinery will go to cpu/bugs.c.
