From d90a7a0ec83fb86622cd7dae23255d3c50a99ec8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Kosina Date: Fri, 13 Jul 2018 16:23:25 +0200 Subject: x86/bugs, kvm: Introduce boot-time control of L1TF mitigations Introduce the 'l1tf=' kernel command line option to allow for boot-time switching of mitigation that is used on processors affected by L1TF. The possible values are: full Provides all available mitigations for the L1TF vulnerability. Disables SMT and enables all mitigations in the hypervisors. SMT control via /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control is still possible after boot. Hypervisors will issue a warning when the first VM is started in a potentially insecure configuration, i.e. SMT enabled or L1D flush disabled. full,force Same as 'full', but disables SMT control. Implies the 'nosmt=force' command line option. sysfs control of SMT and the hypervisor flush control is disabled. flush Leaves SMT enabled and enables the conditional hypervisor mitigation. Hypervisors will issue a warning when the first VM is started in a potentially insecure configuration, i.e. SMT enabled or L1D flush disabled. flush,nosmt Disables SMT and enables the conditional hypervisor mitigation. SMT control via /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control is still possible after boot. If SMT is reenabled or flushing disabled at runtime hypervisors will issue a warning. flush,nowarn Same as 'flush', but hypervisors will not warn when a VM is started in a potentially insecure configuration. off Disables hypervisor mitigations and doesn't emit any warnings. Default is 'flush'. Let KVM adhere to these semantics, which means: - 'lt1f=full,force' : Performe L1D flushes. No runtime control possible. - 'l1tf=full' - 'l1tf-flush' - 'l1tf=flush,nosmt' : Perform L1D flushes and warn on VM start if SMT has been runtime enabled or L1D flushing has been run-time enabled - 'l1tf=flush,nowarn' : Perform L1D flushes and no warnings are emitted. - 'l1tf=off' : L1D flushes are not performed and no warnings are emitted. KVM can always override the L1D flushing behavior using its 'vmentry_l1d_flush' module parameter except when lt1f=full,force is set. This makes KVM's private 'nosmt' option redundant, and as it is a bit non-systematic anyway (this is something to control globally, not on hypervisor level), remove that option. Add the missing Documentation entry for the l1tf vulnerability sysfs file while at it.
