x86, cpu, amd: Add workaround for family 16h, erratum 793
commit 3b56496865f9f7d9bcb2f93b44c63f274f08e3b6 upstream.
This adds the workaround for erratum 793 as a precaution in case not
every BIOS implements it. This addresses CVE-2013-6885.
Erratum text:
[Revision Guide for AMD Family 16h Models 00h-0Fh Processors,
document 51810 Rev. 3.04 November 2013]
793 Specific Combination of Writes to Write Combined Memory Types and
Locked Instructions May Cause Core Hang
Description
Under a highly specific and detailed set of internal timing
conditions, a locked instruction may trigger a timing sequence whereby
the write to a write combined memory type is not flushed, causing the
locked instruction to stall indefinitely.
Potential Effect on System
Processor core hang.
Suggested Workaround
BIOS should set MSR
C001_1020[15] = 1b.
Fix Planned
No fix planned
[ hpa: updated description, fixed typo in MSR name ]
