[PATCH 4.14 057/104] x86/KVM/VMX: Add module argument for L1TF mitigation

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Aug 14 2018 - 13:36:15 EST


4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit a399477e52c17e148746d3ce9a483f681c2aa9a0 upstream

Add a mitigation mode parameter "vmentry_l1d_flush" for CVE-2018-3620, aka
L1 terminal fault. The valid arguments are:

- "always" L1D cache flush on every VMENTER.
- "cond" Conditional L1D cache flush, explained below
- "never" Disable the L1D cache flush mitigation

"cond" is trying to avoid L1D cache flushes on VMENTER if the code executed
between VMEXIT and VMENTER is considered safe, i.e. is not bringing any
interesting information into L1D which might exploited.

[ tglx: Split out from a larger patch ]
