From b72091ebb94e5cb7808c813989e6b5aefa464751 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lendacky Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2018 17:27:30 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 080/103] x86/retpoline: Add LFENCE to the retpoline/RSB filling RSB macros commit 28d437d550e1e39f805d99f9f8ac399c778827b7 upstream. The PAUSE instruction is currently used in the retpoline and RSB filling macros as a speculation trap. The use of PAUSE was originally suggested because it showed a very, very small difference in the amount of cycles/time used to execute the retpoline as compared to LFENCE. On AMD, the PAUSE instruction is not a serializing instruction, so the pause/jmp loop will use excess power as it is speculated over waiting for return to mispredict to the correct target. The RSB filling macro is applicable to AMD, and, if software is unable to verify that LFENCE is serializing on AMD (possible when running under a hypervisor), the generic retpoline support will be used and, so, is also applicable to AMD. Keep the current usage of PAUSE for Intel, but add an LFENCE instruction to the speculation trap for AMD. The same sequence has been adopted by GCC for the GCC generated retpolines.
