    x86/bugs: Add ITLB_MULTIHIT bug infrastructure · db4d30fb
    Vineela Tummalapalli authored Nov 04, 2019
    Some processors may incur a machine check error possibly resulting in an
    unrecoverable CPU lockup when an instruction fetch encounters a TLB
    multi-hit in the instruction TLB. This can occur when the page size is
    changed along with either the physical address or cache type. The relevant
    erratum can be found here:
    
       https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205195
    
    
    
    There are other processors affected for which the erratum does not fully
    disclose the impact.
    
    This issue affects both bare-metal x86 page tables and EPT.
    
    It can be mitigated by either eliminating the use of large pages or by
    using careful TLB invalidations when changing the page size in the page
    tables.
    
    Just like Spectre, Meltdown, L1TF and MDS, a new bit has been allocated in
    MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES (PSCHANGE_MC_NO) and will be set on CPUs which
    are mitigated against this issue.
