To pick the changes from:

  257449c6a50298bd ("x86/cpufeatures: Add LbrExtV2 feature bit")

This only causes these perf files to be rebuilt:

  CC       /tmp/build/perf/bench/mem-memset-x86-64-asm.o

And addresses this perf build warning:

To pick up the changes in:

  b8d1d163604bd1e6 ("x86/apic: Don't disable x2APIC if locked")
  ca5b7c0d9621702e ("perf/x86/amd/lbr: Add LbrExtV2 branch record support")

Addressing these tools/perf build warnings:

    diff -u tools/arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h
    Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h'

That makes the beautification scripts to pick some new entries:

  $ tools/perf/trace/beauty/tracepoints/x86_msr.sh &gt; before
  $ cp arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h tools/arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h

   	[0xc0000301 - x86_64_specific_MSRs_offset] = "AMD64_PERF_CNTR_GLOBAL_CTL",
  $

Now one can trace systemwide asking to see backtraces to where that MSR
is being read/written, see this example with a previous update:

  # perf trace -e msr:*_msr/max-stack=32/ --filter="msr&gt;=IA32_U_CET &amp;&amp; msr&lt;=IA32_INT_SSP_TAB"
  ^C#

If we use -v (verbose mode) we can see what it does behind the scenes:

  # perf trace -v -e msr:*_msr/max-stack=32/ --filter="msr&gt;=IA32_U_CET &amp;&amp; msr&lt;=IA32_INT_SSP_TAB"
  Using CPUID AuthenticAMD-25-21-0
  0x6a0
  0x6a8
  New filter for msr:read_msr: (msr&gt;=0x6a0 &amp;&amp; msr&lt;=0x6a8) &amp;&amp; (common_pid != 597499 &amp;&amp; common_pid != 3313)
  0x6a0
  0x6a8
  New filter for msr:write_msr: (msr&gt;=0x6a0 &amp;&amp; msr&lt;=0x6a8) &amp;&amp; (common_pid != 597499 &amp;&amp; common_pid != 3313)
  mmap size 528384B
  ^C#

Example with a frequent msr:

  # perf trace -v -e msr:*_msr/max-stack=32/ --filter="msr==IA32_SPEC_CTRL" --max-events 2
  Using CPUID AuthenticAMD-25-21-0
  0x48
  New filter for msr:read_msr: (msr==0x48) &amp;&amp; (common_pid != 2612129 &amp;&amp; common_pid != 3841)
  0x48
  New filter for msr:write_msr: (msr==0x48) &amp;&amp; (common_pid != 2612129 &amp;&amp; common_pid != 3841)

Although new details added into this header is currently used by kernel
only, tools copy needs to be in sync with kernel file to avoid
tools/perf/check-headers.sh warnings.

GCC has supported asm goto since 4.5, and Clang has since version 9.0.0.
The minimum supported versions of these tools for the build according to
Documentation/process/changes.rst are 5.1 and 11.0.0 respectively.

Remove the feature detection script, Kconfig option, and clean up some
fallback code that is no longer supported.

The removed script was also testing for a GCC specific bug that was
fixed in the 4.7 release.

Also remove workarounds for bpftrace using clang older than 9.0.0, since
other BPF backend fixes are required at this point.

Now one can trace systemwide asking to see backtraces to where those
MSRs are being read/written, see this example with a previous update:

  # perf trace -e msr:*_msr/max-stack=32/ --filter="msr&gt;=IA32_U_CET &amp;&amp; msr&lt;=IA32_INT_SSP_TAB"
  ^C#

If we use -v (verbose mode) we can see what it does behind the scenes:

  # perf trace -v -e msr:*_msr/max-stack=32/ --filter="msr&gt;=IA32_U_CET &amp;&amp; msr&lt;=IA32_INT_SSP_TAB"
  Using CPUID AuthenticAMD-25-21-0
  0x6a0
  0x6a8
  New filter for msr:read_msr: (msr&gt;=0x6a0 &amp;&amp; msr&lt;=0x6a8) &amp;&amp; (common_pid != 597499 &amp;&amp; common_pid != 3313)
  0x6a0
  0x6a8
  New filter for msr:write_msr: (msr&gt;=0x6a0 &amp;&amp; msr&lt;=0x6a8) &amp;&amp; (common_pid != 597499 &amp;&amp; common_pid != 3313)
  mmap size 528384B
  ^C#

Example with a frequent msr:

  # perf trace -v -e msr:*_msr/max-stack=32/ --filter="msr==IA32_SPEC_CTRL" --max-events 2
  Using CPUID AuthenticAMD-25-21-0

<content type='text'>
tl;dr: The Enhanced IBRS mitigation for Spectre v2 does not work as
documented for RET instructions after VM exits. Mitigate it with a new
one-entry RSB stuffing mechanism and a new LFENCE.

== Background ==

Indirect Branch Restricted Speculation (IBRS) was designed to help
mitigate Branch Target Injection and Speculative Store Bypass, i.e.
Spectre, attacks. IBRS prevents software run in less privileged modes
from affecting branch prediction in more privileged modes. IBRS requires
the MSR to be written on every privilege level change.

To overcome some of the performance issues of IBRS, Enhanced IBRS was
introduced.  eIBRS is an "always on" IBRS, in other words, just turn
it on once instead of writing the MSR on every privilege level change.
When eIBRS is enabled, more privileged modes should be protected from
less privileged modes, including protecting VMMs from guests.

== Problem ==

Here's a simplification of how guests are run on Linux' KVM:

void run_kvm_guest(void)
{
	// Prepare to run guest
	VMRESUME();
	// Clean up after guest runs
}

The execution flow for that would look something like this to the
processor:

1. Host-side: call run_kvm_guest()
2. Host-side: VMRESUME
3. Guest runs, does "CALL guest_function"
4. VM exit, host runs again
5. Host might make some "cleanup" function calls
6. Host-side: RET from run_kvm_guest()

Now, when back on the host, there are a couple of possible scenarios of
post-guest activity the host needs to do before executing host code:

* on pre-eIBRS hardware (legacy IBRS, or nothing at all), the RSB is not
touched and Linux has to do a 32-entry stuffing.

* on eIBRS hardware, VM exit with IBRS enabled, or restoring the host
IBRS=1 shortly after VM exit, has a documented side effect of flushing
the RSB except in this PBRSB situation where the software needs to stuff
the last RSB entry "by hand".

IOW, with eIBRS supported, host RET instructions should no longer be
influenced by guest behavior after the host retires a single CALL
instruction.

However, if the RET instructions are "unbalanced" with CALLs after a VM
exit as is the RET in #6, it might speculatively use the address for the
instruction after the CALL in #3 as an RSB prediction. This is a problem
since the (untrusted) guest controls this address.

Balanced CALL/RET instruction pairs such as in step #5 are not affected.

== Solution ==

The PBRSB issue affects a wide variety of Intel processors which
support eIBRS. But not all of them need mitigation. Today,
X86_FEATURE_RSB_VMEXIT triggers an RSB filling sequence that mitigates
PBRSB. Systems setting RSB_VMEXIT need no further mitigation - i.e.,
eIBRS systems which enable legacy IBRS explicitly.

However, such systems (X86_FEATURE_IBRS_ENHANCED) do not set RSB_VMEXIT
and most of them need a new mitigation.

Therefore, introduce a new feature flag X86_FEATURE_RSB_VMEXIT_LITE
which triggers a lighter-weight PBRSB mitigation versus RSB_VMEXIT.

The lighter-weight mitigation performs a CALL instruction which is
immediately followed by a speculative execution barrier (INT3). This
steers speculative execution to the barrier -- just like a retpoline
-- which ensures that speculation can never reach an unbalanced RET.
Then, ensure this CALL is retired before continuing execution with an
LFENCE.

In other words, the window of exposure is opened at VM exit where RET
behavior is troublesome. While the window is open, force RSB predictions
sampling for RET targets to a dead end at the INT3. Close the window
with the LFENCE.

There is a subset of eIBRS systems which are not vulnerable to PBRSB.
Add these systems to the cpu_vuln_whitelist[] as NO_EIBRS_PBRSB.
Future systems that aren't vulnerable will set ARCH_CAP_PBRSB_NO.
