From 073fdbe02c69c43fb7c0d547ec265c7747d4a646 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pawan Gupta Date: Mon, 5 May 2025 14:35:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86/bhi: Do not set BHI_DIS_S in 32-bit mode With the possibility of intra-mode BHI via cBPF, complete mitigation for BHI is to use IBHF (history fence) instruction with BHI_DIS_S set. Since this new instruction is only available in 64-bit mode, setting BHI_DIS_S in 32-bit mode is only a partial mitigation. Do not set BHI_DIS_S in 32-bit mode so as to avoid reporting misleading mitigated status. With this change IBHF won't be used in 32-bit mode, also remove the CONFIG_X86_64 check from emit_spectre_bhb_barrier().
