x86/speculation: Add Gather Data Sampling mitigation

2023-08-08T17:49:18+00:00

commit 8974eb588283b7d44a7c91fa09fcbaf380339f3a upstream Gather Data Sampling (GDS) is a hardware vulnerability which allows unprivileged speculative access to data which was previously stored in vector registers. Intel processors that support AVX2 and AVX512 have gather instructions that fetch non-contiguous data elements from memory. On vulnerable hardware, when a gather instruction is transiently executed and encounters a fault, stale data from architectural or internal vector registers may get transiently stored to the destination vector register allowing an attacker to infer the stale data using typical side channel techniques like cache timing attacks. This mitigation is different from many earlier ones for two reasons. First, it is enabled by default and a bit must be set to *DISABLE* it. This is the opposite of normal mitigation polarity. This means GDS can be mitigated simply by updating microcode and leaving the new control bit alone. Second, GDS has a "lock" bit. This lock bit is there because the mitigation affects the hardware security features KeyLocker and SGX. It needs to be enabled and *STAY* enabled for these features to be mitigated against GDS. The mitigation is enabled in the microcode by default. Disable it by setting gather_data_sampling=off or by disabling all mitigations with mitigations=off.
