Subject[PATCH 5.10 06/11] x86/speculation/mmio: Enable CPU Fill buffer clearing on idle
Date
From: Pawan Gupta <pawan.kumar.gupta@linux.intel.com>

commit 99a83db5a605137424e1efe29dc0573d6a5b6316 upstream

When the CPU is affected by Processor MMIO Stale Data vulnerabilities,
Fill Buffer Stale Data Propagator (FBSDP) can propagate stale data out
of Fill buffer to uncore buffer when CPU goes idle. Stale data can then
be exploited with other variants using MMIO operations.

Mitigate it by clearing the Fill buffer before entering idle state.
