x86/cpu/kvm: SRSO: Fix possible missing IBPB on VM-Exit
In [1] the meaning of the synthetic IBPB flags has been redefined for a better separation of concerns: - ENTRY_IBPB -- issue IBPB on entry only - IBPB_ON_VMEXIT -- issue IBPB on VM-Exit only and the Retbleed mitigations have been updated to match this new semantics. Commit [2] was merged shortly before [1], and their interaction was not handled properly. This resulted in IBPB not being triggered on VM-Exit in all SRSO mitigation configs requesting an IBPB there. Specifically, an IBPB on VM-Exit is triggered only when X86_FEATURE_IBPB_ON_VMEXIT is set. However: - X86_FEATURE_IBPB_ON_VMEXIT is not set for "spec_rstack_overflow=ibpb", because before [1] having X86_FEATURE_ENTRY_IBPB was enough. Hence, an IBPB is triggered on entry but the expected IBPB on VM-exit is not. - X86_FEATURE_IBPB_ON_VMEXIT is not set also when "spec_rstack_overflow=ibpb-vmexit" if X86_FEATURE_ENTRY_IBPB is already set. That's because before [1] this was effectively redundant. Hence, e.g. a "retbleed=ibpb spec_rstack_overflow=bpb-vmexit" config mistakenly reports the machine still vulnerable to SRSO, despite an IBPB being triggered both on entry and VM-Exit, because of the Retbleed selected mitigation config. - UNTRAIN_RET_VM won't still actually do anything unless CONFIG_MITIGATION_IBPB_ENTRY is set. For "spec_rstack_overflow=ibpb", enable IBPB on both entry and VM-Exit and clear X86_FEATURE_RSB_VMEXIT which is made superfluous by X86_FEATURE_IBPB_ON_VMEXIT. This effectively makes this mitigation option similar to the one for 'retbleed=ibpb', thus re-order the code for the RETBLEED_MITIGATION_IBPB option to be less confusing by having all features enabling before the disabling of the not needed ones. For "spec_rstack_overflow=ibpb-vmexit", guard this mitigation setting with CONFIG_MITIGATION_IBPB_ENTRY to ensure UNTRAIN_RET_VM sequence is effectively compiled in. Drop instead the CONFIG_MITIGATION_SRSO guard, since none of the SRSO compile cruft is required in this configuration. Also, check only that the required microcode is present to effectively enabled the IBPB on VM-Exit. Finally, update the KConfig description for CONFIG_MITIGATION_IBPB_ENTRY to list also all SRSO config settings enabled by this guard.
