From Intel's documention [1], "CPUID.(EAX=07H,ECX=0):EDX[26]
enumerates support for indirect branch restricted speculation (IBRS)
and the indirect branch predictor barrier (IBPB)." Further, from [2],
"Software that executed before the IBPB command cannot control the
predicted targets of indirect branches (4) executed after the command
on the same logical processor," where footnote 4 reads, "Note that
indirect branches include near call indirect, near jump indirect and
near return instructions. Because it includes near returns, it follows
that **RSB entries created before an IBPB command cannot control the
predicted targets of returns executed after the command on the same
logical processor.**" [emphasis mine]

On the other hand, AMD's IBPB "may not prevent return branch
predictions from being specified by pre-IBPB branch targets" [3].

However, some AMD processors have an "enhanced IBPB" [terminology
mine] which does clear the return address predictor. This feature is
enumerated by CPUID.80000008:EDX.IBPB_RET[bit 30] [4].

Adjust the cross-vendor features enumerated by KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID
accordingly.

Venkatesh, can I grab a review from you on this?   You know this way better than
I do, and I honestly don't feel like reading mitigation disclosures right now :-)

Should IBPB_RET be conditionally set? I would think that you would only
want to set IBPB_RET if either IBPB_RET or SPEC_CTRL is set on the hypervisor.

		if (boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_AMD_IBPB_RET) ||
		    boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_SPEC_CTRL)
			kvm_cpu_cap_set(X86_FEATURE_AMD_IBPB_RET);

Right?

Thanks,
Tom

Right. This clause is intended to set cross-vendor capabilities, so it
should be:

    if (boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_SPEC_CTRL))
        kvm_cpu_cap_set(X86_FEATURE_AMD_IBPB_RET);

Passing through AMD_IBPB_RET from the hardware should be done by
adding the bit to the mask for CPUID_8000_0008_EBX.

I'll send out a v3.
