The microcode clears the affected CPU buffers when the VERW instruction is executed. -Kernel reuses the MDS function to invoke the buffer clearing: - - mds_clear_cpu_buffers() +Kernel does the buffer clearing with x86_clear_cpu_buffers(). On MDS affected CPUs, the kernel already invokes CPU buffer clear on kernel/userspace, hypervisor/guest and C-state (idle) transitions. No |
