19 * This ASM file contains various routines that are designed to flush
20 * microarchitectural buffer state as part of dealing with the
21 * microarchitectural data sampling (MDS) vulnerabilities.
22 *
23 * These are called from various points in the system ranging from interrupts,
24 * before going idle, to returning from system calls. This means the following
25 * is true about the state of the system:
26 *
27 * o All register state is precious, we must not change register state upon
28 * entry or return from these functions.
29 *
30 * o %ds is valid.
31 *
32 * o %gs is arbitrary, it may be kernel or user. You cannot rely on it.
33 *
34 * o Interrupts should be disabled by the caller.
35 *
36 * o %cr3 is on the kernel-side and therefore we still have access to kernel
37 * text. In other words, we haven't switched back to the user page table.
38 *
39 * o It is up to the caller to insure that a sufficient serializing instruction
40 * has been executed after this to make sure any pending speculations are
41 * captured. In general, this should be handled by the fact that callers of
42 * this are either going to change privilege levels or halt, which makes
43 * these operations safer.
