I prefer amd-no-ssb, so I plan to apply these patches as is.

Given that, there's no exposed kernel naming we need to align with.
So personally I'd be fine with the current patches that exist, but
I'll defer to Eduardo for the final say, wrt amd-ssb-no vs amd-no-ssb.

It will only report 'ssbd' but not 'amd-ssb-no' nor 'amd-ssbd'.
If the cpufeature.h has "" in the comment section then it is hidden. That is:
#define X86_FEATURE_MSR_SPEC_CTRL ( 7*32+16) /* "" MSR SPEC_CTRL is
implemented */
..sniup..
+#define X86_FEATURE_AMD_SSBD (13*32+24) /* "" Speculative Store
Bypass Disable */
+#define X86_FEATURE_AMD_SSB_NO (13*32+26) /* "" Speculative Store
Bypass is fixed in hardware. */
are hidden ones, while:
#define X86_FEATURE_SSBD( 7*32+17) /* Speculative Store Bypass
Disable */
is visible.
The code that finds the AMD_SSBD and sets the 'ssbd' is:
+ if (cpu_has(c, X86_FEATURE_AMD_SSBD)) {
+ set_cpu_cap(c, X86_FEATURE_SSBD);
+ set_cpu_cap(c, X86_FEATURE_MSR_SPEC_CTRL);
+ clear_cpu_cap(c, X86_FEATURE_VIRT_SSBD);
+ }
Meaning the 'ssbd' will show up in /proc/cpuinfo

Thanks, that's useful info.
Can you say whether amd-ssbd is going to become available for existing
CPUs via microcode updates, or will it only be present in future CPUs ?

The idea behind virt-ssbd was to provide an architectural method for
a guest to do SSBD when amd-ssbd isn't present. The amd-ssbd feature
will use SPEC_CTRL which is intended to not be intercepted and
will be fast. The use of virt-ssbd will always be intercepted and
therefore will not be as fast. So a guest should be presented with
amd-ssbd, if available, in preference to virt-ssbd.

I will respin once that discussion has calmed down. Thanks! BTW, it looks like the patch on LKML[1] will make bit 26 appear on /proc/cpuinfo as "amd_ssb_no", is that correct? If that's the case, I'd prefer to make the QEMU flag to match the name used by Linux, and be called "amd-ssb-no" (which sounds weird to me, but at least it will be consistent with /proc/cpuinfo).

Not yet. They are being discussed right now. I figured I would send
these patches out as a 'Hey, coming at you!', but failed to change
the title to be 'RFC'.

Of course. I will respin once that discussion has calmed down.

Does anybody know if there are AMD CPUs where virt-ssbd won't
work and would require amd-ssbd to mitigate vulnerabilities?
Also, do we have kernel arch/x86/kvm/cpuid.c patches, already?
I prefer to add new CPUID flag names only after the flag name is
already agreed upon on the kernel side.

Oh what fun ;-)
Unless I'm mistaken the current Linux kernel doesn't know about these
new amd-ssbd / amd-no-ssb flags either. Will you also be sending patches
for that half of the problem ?
