Subject: x86/spec-ctrl: Mitigation Register File Data Sampling
RFDS affects Atom cores, also branded E-cores, between the Goldmont and
Gracemont microarchitectures. This includes Alder Lake and Raptor Lake hybrid
clien systems which have a mix of Gracemont and other types of cores.
Two new bits have been defined; RFDS_CLEAR to indicate VERW has more side
effets, and RFDS_NO to incidate that the system is unaffected. Plenty of
unaffected CPUs won't be getting RFDS_NO retrofitted in microcode, so we
synthesise it. Alder Lake and Raptor Lake Xeon-E's are unaffected due to
their platform configuration, and we must use the Hybrid CPUID bit to
distinguish them from their non-Xeon counterparts.
Like MD_CLEAR and FB_CLEAR, RFDS_CLEAR needs OR-ing across a resource pool, so
set it in the max policies and reflect the host setting in default.
This is part of XSA-452 / CVE-2023-28746.
