x86/bugs: Add retbleed=ibpb
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
jmp2ret mitigates the easy-to-attack case at relatively low overhead.
It mitigates the long speculation windows after a mispredicted RET, but
it does not mitigate the short speculation window from arbitrary
instruction boundaries.

On Zen2, there is a chicken bit which needs setting, which mitigates
"arbitrary instruction boundaries" down to just "basic block boundaries".

But there is no fix for the short speculation window on basic block
boundaries, other than to flush the entire BTB to evict all attacker
predictions.

On the spectrum of "fast & blurry" -> "safe", there is (on top of STIBP
or no-SMT):

  1) Nothing		System wide open
  2) jmp2ret		May stop a script kiddy
  3) jmp2ret+chickenbit  Raises the bar rather further
  4) IBPB		Only thing which can count as "safe".

Tentative numbers put IBPB-on-entry at a 2.5x hit on Zen2, and a 10x hit
on Zen1 according to lmbench.

  [ bp: Fixup feature bit comments, document option, 32-bit build fix. ]

disabling SMT if necessary for
the full mitigation (only on Zen1
and older without STIBP).
ibpb - mitigate short speculation windows on
basic block boundaries too. Safe, highest
perf impact.
unret - force enable untrained return thunks,
only effective on AMD f15h-f17h
based systems.
