From 8f7353cbbd5a5a54c876c2be30217ba568e5989c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lendacky Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2018 16:09:21 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 056/103] x86/cpu/AMD: Make LFENCE a serializing instruction commit e4d0e84e490790798691aaa0f2e598637f1867ec upstream. To aid in speculation control, make LFENCE a serializing instruction since it has less overhead than MFENCE. This is done by setting bit 1 of MSR 0xc0011029 (DE_CFG). Some families that support LFENCE do not have this MSR. For these families, the LFENCE instruction is already serializing.
