From c790c3d2b0ec5979d83451d0688d1cd07e23d8ba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Ellerman Date: Mon, 20 May 2019 20:55:20 +1000 Subject: selftests/powerpc: Add a test of spectre_v2 mitigations This test uses the PMU to count branch prediction hits/misses for a known loop, and compare the result to the reported spectre v2 mitigation. This gives us a way of sanity checking that the reported mitigation is actually in effect. Sample output for some cases, eg: Power9: sysfs reports: 'Vulnerable' PM_BR_PRED_CCACHE: result 368 running/enabled 5792777124 PM_BR_MPRED_CCACHE: result 319 running/enabled 5792775546 PM_BR_PRED_PCACHE: result 2147483281 running/enabled 5792773128 PM_BR_MPRED_PCACHE: result 213604201 running/enabled 5792771640 Miss percent 9 % OK - Measured branch prediction rates match reported spectre v2 mitigation. sysfs reports: 'Mitigation: Indirect branch serialisation (kernel only)' PM_BR_PRED_CCACHE: result 895 running/enabled 5780320920 PM_BR_MPRED_CCACHE: result 822 running/enabled 5780312414 PM_BR_PRED_PCACHE: result 2147482754 running/enabled 5780308836 PM_BR_MPRED_PCACHE: result 213639731 running/enabled 5780307912 Miss percent 9 % OK - Measured branch prediction rates match reported spectre v2 mitigation. sysfs reports: 'Mitigation: Indirect branch cache disabled' PM_BR_PRED_CCACHE: result 2147483649 running/enabled 20540186160 PM_BR_MPRED_CCACHE: result 2147483649 running/enabled 20540180056 PM_BR_PRED_PCACHE: result 0 running/enabled 20540176090 PM_BR_MPRED_PCACHE: result 0 running/enabled 20540174182 Miss percent 100 % OK - Measured branch prediction rates match reported spectre v2 mitigation.
