2025-03-19x86/rfds: Exclude P-only parts from the RFDS affected listPawan Gupta
The affected CPU table (cpu_vuln_blacklist) marks Alderlake and Raptorlake P-only parts affected by RFDS. This is not true because only E-cores are affected by RFDS. With the current family/model matching it is not possible to differentiate the unaffected parts, as the affected and unaffected hybrid variants have the same model number. Add a cpu-type match as well for such parts so as to exclude P-only parts being marked as affected. Note, family/model and cpu-type enumeration could be inaccurate in virtualized environments. In a guest affected status is decided by RFDS_NO and RFDS_CLEAR bits exposed by VMMs. Signed-off-by: Pawan Gupta <pawan.kumar.gupta@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov (AMD) <bp@alien8.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Acked-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250311-add-cpu-type-v8-5-e8514dcaaff2@linux.intel.com
