x86/CPU/AMD: Add X86_FEATURE_ZEN1

2026-05-15T12:48:07+00:00

Commit 232afb557835d6f6859c73bf610bad308c96b131 upstream. Add a synthetic feature flag specifically for first generation Zen machines. There's need to have a generic flag for all Zen generations so make X86_FEATURE_ZEN be that flag.

x86/efi: defer freeing of boot services memory

2026-04-18T08:30:51+00:00

commit a4b0bf6a40f3c107c67a24fbc614510ef5719980 upstream. efi_free_boot_services() frees memory occupied by EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE and EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA using memblock_free_late(). There are two issue with that: memblock_free_late() should be used for memory allocated with memblock_alloc() while the memory reserved with memblock_reserve() should be freed with free_reserved_area(). More acutely, with CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT=y efi_free_boot_services() is called before deferred initialization of the memory map is complete. Benjamin Herrenschmidt reports that this causes a leak of ~140MB of RAM on EC2 t3a.nano instances which only have 512MB or RAM. If the freed memory resides in the areas that memory map for them is still uninitialized, they won't be actually freed because memblock_free_late() calls memblock_free_pages() and the latter skips uninitialized pages. Using free_reserved_area() at this point is also problematic because __free_page() accesses the buddy of the freed page and that again might end up in uninitialized part of the memory map. Delaying the entire efi_free_boot_services() could be problematic because in addition to freeing boot services memory it updates efi.memmap without any synchronization and that's undesirable late in boot when there is concurrency. More robust approach is to only defer freeing of the EFI boot services memory. Split efi_free_boot_services() in two. First efi_unmap_boot_services() collects ranges that should be freed into an array then efi_free_boot_services() later frees them after deferred init is complete.

x86/vmscape: Add conditional IBPB mitigation

2025-09-11T15:16:06+00:00

commit 2f8f173413f1cbf52660d04df92d0069c4306d25 upstream. VMSCAPE is a vulnerability that exploits insufficient branch predictor isolation between a guest and a userspace hypervisor (like QEMU). Existing mitigations already protect kernel/KVM from a malicious guest. Userspace can additionally be protected by flushing the branch predictors after a VMexit. Since it is the userspace that consumes the poisoned branch predictors, conditionally issue an IBPB after a VMexit and before returning to userspace. Workloads that frequently switch between hypervisor and userspace will incur the most overhead from the new IBPB. This new IBPB is not integrated with the existing IBPB sites. For instance, a task can use the existing speculation control prctl() to get an IBPB at context switch time. With this implementation, the IBPB is doubled up: one at context switch and another before running userspace. The intent is to integrate and optimize these cases post-embargo.

x86/vmscape: Enumerate VMSCAPE bug

2025-09-11T15:16:06+00:00

commit a508cec6e5215a3fbc7e73ae86a5c5602187934d upstream. The VMSCAPE vulnerability may allow a guest to cause Branch Target Injection (BTI) in userspace hypervisors. Kernels (both host and guest) have existing defenses against direct BTI attacks from guests. There are also inter-process BTI mitigations which prevent processes from attacking each other. However, the threat in this case is to a userspace hypervisor within the same process as the attacker. Userspace hypervisors have access to their own sensitive data like disk encryption keys and also typically have access to all guest data. This means guest userspace may use the hypervisor as a confused deputy to attack sensitive guest kernel data. There are no existing mitigations for these attacks. Introduce X86_BUG_VMSCAPE for this vulnerability and set it on affected Intel and AMD CPUs.
