If the MSR can be read +and the bit is set, then set the LFENCE_RDTSC feature, otherwise set the +MFENCE_RDTSC feature. + +Signed-off-by: Tom Lendacky <thomas.lendacky@amd.com> +Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> +Reviewed-by: Reviewed-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> +Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> +Cc: Tim Chen <tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com> +Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@intel.com> +Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> +Cc: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> +Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> +Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linux-foundation.org> +Cc: David Woodhouse <dwmw@amazon.co.uk> +Cc: Paul Turner <pjt@google.com> +Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180108220932.12580.52458.stgit@tlendack-t1.amdoffice.net +Signed-off-by: Razvan Ghitulete <rga@amazon.de> +Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> +--- + arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h | 1 + + arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd.c | 18 ++++++++++++++++-- + 2 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) + +diff --git a/arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h b/arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h +index b1c0969..4eeaa36 100644 +--- a/arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h ++++ b/arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h +@@ -332,6 +332,7 @@ + #define MSR_FAM10H_NODE_ID 0xc001100c + #define MSR_F10H_DECFG 0xc0011029 + #define MSR_F10H_DECFG_LFENCE_SERIALIZE_BIT 1 ++#define MSR_F10H_DECFG_LFENCE_SERIALIZE BIT_ULL(MSR_F10H_DECFG_LFENCE_SERIALIZE_BIT) + + /* K8 MSRs */ + #define MSR_K8_TOP_MEM1 0xc001001a +diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd.c b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd.c +index 8b5b19d..1b89f0c 100644 +--- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd.c ++++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd.c +@@ -782,6 +782,9 @@ static void init_amd(struct cpuinfo_x86 *c) + set_cpu_cap(c, X86_FEATURE_K8); + + if (cpu_has(c, X86_FEATURE_XMM2)) { ++ unsigned long long val; ++ int ret; ++ + /* + * A serializing LFENCE has less overhead than MFENCE, so + * use it for execution serialization.
