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.

If SPEC_CTRL is set, then IBPB is set, so you can't have AMD_IBPB_RET
without AMD_IBPB, but it just looks odd seeing them set with separate
checks with no relationship dependency for AMD_IBPB_RET on AMD_IBPB.
That's just me, though, not worth a v4 unless others feel the same.

Thanks,
Tom

You thinking something like this (at the end, after the dust settles)?

	if (WARN_ON_ONCE(kvm_cpu_cap_has(X86_FEATURE_AMD_IBPB_RET) &&
			 !kvm_cpu_cap_has(X86_FEATURE_AMD_IBPB)))
		kvm_cpu_cap_clear(X86_FEATURE_AMD_IBPB_RET);

Ugh. No.

I think it would be better to replace the subsequent vendor-neutral
tests with something like:

    if (boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_SPEC_CTRL)) {
        kvm_cpu_cap_set(X86_FEATURE_AMD_IBPB);
        kvm_cpu_cap_set(X86_FEATURE_AMD_IBPB_RET);
        kvm_cpu_cap_set(X86_FEATURE_AMD_IBRS);
    }

Again, my real preference is to leave the cross-vendor enumeration to
userspace, but I guess that ship has sailed.

I was just thinking more along the lines of:

	if (boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_IBPB)) {
		kvm_cpu_cap_set(X86_FEATURE_AMD_IBPB);
		if (boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_SPEC_CTRL))
			kvm_cpu_cap_set(X86_FEATURE_AMD_IBPB_RET);
	}

AFAICT, there are just two reasons that X86_FEATURE_IBPB gets set:
1. The CPU reports CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):EDX[bit 26] (aka X86_FEATURE_SPEC_CTRL)
2. The CPU reports CPUID Fn8000_0008_EBX[IBPB] (aka X86_FEATURE_AMD_IBPB)

Clearly, in the second case, the KVM cpu capability for AMD_IBPB will
already be set, since it's specified in the mask for
CPUID_8000_0008_EBX.

If this block of code is just trying to populate CPUID Fn8000_0008_EBX
on Intel processors, I'd rather change all of the predicates to test
for Intel features, rather than vendor-neutral features, so that the
derivation is clear. But maybe this block of code is also trying to
populate CPUID Fn8000_0008_EBX on AMD processors that may have some of
these features, but don't enumerate them via CPUID?

There's another argument for just nuking these cross-vendor
derivations. How do we factor in CVE-2022-26373 (Post-barrier Return
Stack Buffer Predictions)?
Intel CPUs without IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES.PBRSB_NO[bit 24] have a
weaker IBPB than AMD CPUs with CPUID Fn8000_0008_EBX[IBPB_RET], and
probably should not be enumerating that CPUID bit.

Trying to derive cross-vendor mitigation equivalence is just going to
end in tears.

Agreed, but I also don't want to break existing setups.  Is there a bare minimum
of sorts that we can advertise to userspace?  E.g. something that might be
imperfect, but has acceptable tradeoffs/risks for the existing code?

And then put a stake in the ground saying no more of these shenanigans.
