x86/spec-ctrl: Support IBPB-on-entry
We are going to need this to mitigate Branch Type Confusion on AMD/Hygon CPUs,
but as we've talked about using it in other cases too, arrange to support it
generally. However, this is also very expensive in some cases, so we're going
to want per-domain controls.
Introduce SCF_ist_ibpb and SCF_entry_ibpb controls, adding them to the IST and
DOM masks as appropriate. Also introduce X86_FEATURE_IBPB_ENTRY_{PV,HVM} to
to patch the code blocks.
For SVM, the STGI is serialising enough to protect against Spectre-v1 attacks,
so no "else lfence" is necessary. VT-x will use use the MSR host load list,
so doesn't need any code in the VMExit path.
For the IST path, we can't safely check CPL==0 to skip a flush, as we might
have hit an entry path before it's IBPB. As IST hitting Xen is rare, flush
irrespective of CPL. A later path, SCF_ist_sc_msr, provides Spectre-v1
safety.
For the PV paths, we know we're interrupting CPL>0, while for the INTR paths,
we can safely check CPL==0. Only flush when interrupting guest context.
An "else lfence" is needed for safety, but we want to be able to skip it on
unaffected CPUs, so the block wants to be an alternative, which means the
lfence has to be inline rather than UNLIKELY() (the replacement block doesn't
have displacements fixed up for anything other than the first instruction).
As with SPEC_CTRL_ENTRY_FROM_INTR_IST, %rdx is 0 on entry so rely on this to
shrink the logic marginally. Update the comments to specify this new
dependency.
This is part of XSA-407.
