commit a508cec 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.
