With retpoline, tight loops of "call this function for every XXX" are very much pessimised by taking a prediction miss *every* time. This one is by far the biggest contributor to the guest launch time with retpoline. By marking the iterator slot_handle_…() functions always_inline, we can ensure that the indirect function call can be optimised away into a direct call and it actually generates slightly smaller code because some of the other conditionals can get optimised away too. Performance is now pretty close to what we see with nospectre_v2 on the command line.

Patch "KVM/x86: Reduce retpoline performance impact in slot_handle_level_range(), by always inlining iterator helper methods" has been added to the 4.4-stable tree

With retpoline, tight loops of "call this function for every XXX" are very much pessimised by taking a prediction miss *every* time. This one is by far the biggest contributor to the guest launch time with retpoline. By marking the iterator slot_handle_…() functions always_inline, we can ensure that the indirect function call can be optimised away into a direct call and it actually generates slightly smaller code because some of the other conditionals can get optimised away too. Performance is now pretty close to what we see with nospectre_v2 on the command line.

Intel have retroactively blessed the 0xc2 microcode on Skylake mobile and desktop parts, and the Gemini Lake 0x22 microcode is apparently fine too. We blacklisted the latter purely because it was present with all the other problematic ones in the 2018-01-08 release, but now it's explicitly listed as OK. We still list 0x84 for the various Kaby Lake / Coffee Lake parts, as that appeared in one version of the blacklist and then reverted to 0x80 again.

Arjan points out that the Intel document only clears the 0xc2 microcode on *some* parts with CPUID 506E3 (INTEL_FAM6_SKYLAKE_DESKTOP stepping 3). For the Skylake H/S platform it's OK but for Skylake E3 which has the same CPUID it isn't (yet) cleared. So removing it from the blacklist was premature. Put it back for now. Also, Arjan assures me that the 0x84 microcode for Kaby Lake which was featured in one of the early revisions of the Intel document was never released to the public, and won't be until/unless it is also validated as safe. So those can change to 0x80 which is what all *other* versions of the doc have identified. Once the retrospective testing of existing public microcodes is done, we should be back into a mode where new microcodes are only released in batches and we shouldn't even need to update the blacklist for those anyway, so this tweaking of the list isn't expected to be a thing which keeps happening.

Patch "X86/nVMX: Properly set spec_ctrl and pred_cmd before merging MSRs" has been added to the 4.15-stable tree

by gregkh＠linuxfoundation.org

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled X86/nVMX: Properly set spec_ctrl and pred_cmd before merging MSRs to the 4.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=sum… The filename of the patch is: x86-nvmx-properly-set-spec_ctrl-and-pred_cmd-before-merging-msrs.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable(a)vger.kernel.org> know about it. >From 206587a9fb764d71f035dc7f6d3b6488f5d5b304 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: KarimAllah Ahmed <karahmed(a)amazon.de> Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2018 23:39:25 +0000 Subject: X86/nVMX: Properly set spec_ctrl and pred_cmd before merging MSRs MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit From: KarimAllah Ahmed <karahmed(a)amazon.de> commit 206587a9fb764d71f035dc7f6d3b6488f5d5b304 upstream. These two variables should check whether SPEC_CTRL and PRED_CMD are supposed to be passed through to L2 guests or not. While msr_write_intercepted_l01 would return 'true' if it is not passed through. So just invert the result of msr_write_intercepted_l01 to implement the correct semantics.
