2024-03-01 | x86/boot: Use 32-bit XOR to clear registers | Uros Bizjak | |
x86_64 zero extends 32-bit operations, so for 64-bit operands, XORL r32,r32 is functionally equal to XORQ r64,r64, but avoids a REX prefix byte when legacy registers are used. Slightly smaller code generated, no change in functionality.

2021-12-08 | x86: Prepare asm files for straight-line-speculation | Peter Zijlstra | |
Replace all ret/retq instructions with RET in preparation of making RET a macro. Since AS is case insensitive it's a big no-op without RET defined. find arch/x86/ -name \*.S | while read file do sed -i 's/\<ret[q]*\>/RET/' $file done Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211204134907.905503893@infradead.org | |||
2020-10-29 | x86/boot/compressed/64: Check SEV encryption in 64-bit boot-path | Joerg Roedel | |
Check whether the hypervisor reported the correct C-bit when running as an SEV guest. Using a wrong C-bit position could be used to leak sensitive data from the guest to the hypervisor. The check function is in a separate file: arch/x86/kernel/sev_verify_cbit.S so that it can be re-used in the running kernel image.
