 "The performance deterioration departement is not proud at all to
  present yet another set of speculation fences to mitigate the next
  chapter in the 'what could possibly go wrong' story.

  The new vulnerability belongs to the Spectre class and affects GS
  based data accesses and has therefore been dubbed 'Grand Schemozzle'
  for secret communication purposes. It's officially listed as
  CVE-2019-1125.

  Conditional branches in the entry paths which contain a SWAPGS
  instruction (interrupts and exceptions) can be mis-speculated which
  results in speculative accesses with a wrong GS base.

  This can happen on entry from user mode through a mis-speculated
  branch which takes the entry from kernel mode path and therefore does
  not execute the SWAPGS instruction. The following speculative accesses
  are done with user GS base.

  On entry from kernel mode the mis-speculated branch executes the
  SWAPGS instruction in the entry from user mode path which has the same
  effect that the following GS based accesses are done with user GS
  base.

  If there is a disclosure gadget available in these code paths the
  mis-speculated data access can be leaked through the usual side
  channels.

  The entry from user mode issue affects all CPUs which have speculative
  execution. The entry from kernel mode issue affects only Intel CPUs
  which can speculate through SWAPGS. On CPUs from other vendors SWAPGS
  has semantics which prevent that.

  SMAP migitates both problems but only when the CPU is not affected by
  the Meltdown vulnerability.

  The mitigation is to issue LFENCE instructions in the entry from
  kernel mode path for all affected CPUs and on the affected Intel CPUs
  also in the entry from user mode path unless PTI is enabled because
  the CR3 write is serializing.

  The fences are as usual enabled conditionally and can be completely
  disabled on the kernel command line. The Spectre V1 documentation is
  updated accordingly.

  A big "Thank You!" goes to Josh for doing the heavy lifting for this
  round of hardware misfeature 'repair'. Of course also "Thank You!" to
  everybody else who contributed in one way or the other"
