Subject: [PATCH v2 3/5] x86/mm: Optionally flush L1D on context switch
Date:   Wed, 29 Jul 2020 10:11:01 +1000
Message-ID: <20200729001103.6450-4-sblbir@amazon.com>

Implement a mechanism to selectively flush the L1D cache. The goal is to
allow tasks that want to save sensitive information, found by the recent
snoop assisted data sampling vulnerabilites, to flush their L1D on being
switched out.  This protects their data from being snooped or leaked via
side channels after the task has context switched out.

There are two scenarios we might want to protect against, a task leaving
the CPU with data still in L1D (which is the main concern of this patch),
the second scenario is a malicious task coming in (not so well trusted)
for which we want to clean up the cache before it starts. Only the case
for the former is addressed.

A new thread_info flag TIF_SPEC_L1D_FLUSH is added to track tasks which
opt-into L1D flushing. cpu_tlbstate.last_user_mm_spec is used to convert
the TIF flags into mm state (per cpu via last_user_mm_spec) in
cond_mitigation(), which then used to do decide when to flush the
L1D cache.

A new helper inline function l1d_flush_hw() has been introduced.
Currently it returns an error code if hardware flushing is not
supported.  The caller currently does not check the return value, in the
context of these patches, the routine is called only when HW assisted
flushing is available.
