The clear-residuals mitigation is a relatively heavy hammer and under some
circumstances the user may wish to forgo the context isolation in order
to meet some performance requirement. Introduce a generic module
parameter to allow selectively enabling/disabling different mitigations.

Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/1858
Fixes: 47f8253d2b89 ("drm/i915/gen7: Clear all EU/L3 residual contexts")

I'm afraid this will have the same faith as the rc6 and the validation impact :/

but I liked this structure to at least stop the growing of the params...

Although this seems like ideal solution - giving users option to choose *potential* performance over security or vice-versa -  However, I would have expected that this patch adds a DRM warning to inform users of the consequences of their action, whenever module parameter is used to disable any kind of mitigations. Well, that is my own perspective, not as a legal expert.

Thanks,

> Although this seems like ideal solution - giving users option to choose *potential* performance over security or vice-versa -  However, I would have expected that this patch adds a DRM warning to inform users of the consequences of their action, whenever module parameter is used to disable any kind of mitigations. Well, that is my own perspective, not as a legal expert.

It's marked as unsafe; setting this parameter will issue a notice and
taint the kernel. That should be enough to warn of the consequences of
their actions, without going into the gruesome details.

I very briefly considered a few pr_warn_once() for each disabled
mitigation, but I am not sure what we should say to the user.
