Pawan Gupta 66d5260fc7 x86/rfds: Mitigate Register File Data Sampling (RFDS)
commit 8076fcde016c9c0e0660543e67bff86cb48a7c9c upstream.

RFDS is a CPU vulnerability that may allow userspace to infer kernel
stale data previously used in floating point registers, vector registers
and integer registers. RFDS only affects certain Intel Atom processors.

Intel released a microcode update that uses VERW instruction to clear
the affected CPU buffers. Unlike MDS, none of the affected cores support
SMT.

Add RFDS bug infrastructure and enable the VERW based mitigation by
default, that clears the affected buffers just before exiting to
userspace. Also add sysfs reporting and cmdline parameter
"reg_file_data_sampling" to control the mitigation.

For details see:
Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln/reg-file-data-sampling.rst

  [ pawan: - Resolved conflicts in sysfs reporting.
	   - s/ATOM_GRACEMONT/ALDERLAKE_N/ATOM_GRACEMONT is called
	     ALDERLAKE_N in 6.6. ]
