This CVE has already been announced in FreeBSD SA-19:26.mcu.
Mitigation for TAA involves either turning off TSX or turning on the
VERW mitigation used for MDS. Some CPUs will also be self-mitigating
for TAA and require no software workaround.
Control knobs are:
machdep.mitigations.taa.enable:
0 - no software mitigation is enabled
1 - attempt to disable TSX
2 - use the VERW mitigation
3 - automatically select the mitigation based on processor
features.
machdep.mitigations.taa.state:
inactive - no mitigation is active/enabled
TSX disable - TSX is disabled in the bare metal CPU as well as
- any virtualized CPUs
VERW - VERW instruction clears CPU buffers
not vulnerable - The CPU has identified itself as not being
vulnerable
Nothing in the base FreeBSD system uses TSX. However, the instructions
are straight-forward to add to custom applications and require no kernel
support, so the mitigation is provided for users with untrusted
applications and tenants.

Disable the use of executable 2M page mappings in EPT-format page
tables on affected CPUs. For bhyve virtual machines, this effectively
disables all use of superpage mappings on affected CPUs. The
vm.pmap.allow_2m_x_ept sysctl can be set to override the default and
enable mappings on affected CPUs.
Alternate approaches have been suggested, but at present we do not
believe the complexity is warranted for typical bhyve's use cases.

Currently NMIs are sent over event channels, but that defeats the
purpose of NMIs since event channels can be masked. Fix this by
issuing NMIs using a hypercall, which injects a NMI (vector #2) to the
desired vCPU.
Note that NMIs could also be triggered using the emulated local APIC,
but using a hypercall is better from a performance point of view
since it doesn't involve instruction decoding when not using x2APIC
mode.

x86 stack_save_td_running() can work safely only if IPI_TRACE is a
non-maskable interrupt. But at the moment FreeBSD/Xen does not provide
support for the NMI delivery mode. So, mark the functionality as
unsupported similarly to other platforms without NMI.
Maybe there is a way to provide a Xen-specific working
stack_save_td_running(), but I couldn't figure it out.

The former spelling probably confused MOVDIR64B with MOVDIRI64.
MOVDIR_64B is the 64-*byte* direct store instruction; MOVDIR_I64 is the
64-*bit* direct store instruction (underscores added here for clarity; they are
not part of the canonical instruction name).

This should improve automatic TSC frequency determination on
Skylake/Kabylake/... families, where 0x15 exists but does not provide
all necessary information. SDM contains relatively strong wording
against such uses of 0x16, but Intel does not give us any other way to
obtain the frequency. Linux did the same in the commit

x86 needs sc, as does sparc64. powerpc doesn't use it by default, but some old
powermac notebooks do not work with vt yet for reasons unknonw. Even so, I've
removed it from powerpc LINT. It's not in daily use there, and the intent is to
100% switch to vt now that it works for that platform to limit support burden.
All the other architectures omit some or all of the screen savers from their
lint config. Move them to the x86 NOTES files and remove the exclusions. This
reduces slightly the number of savers sparc64 compiles, but since they are in
GENERIC, the overage is adequate and if someone reaelly wants to sort them out
in sparc64 they can sweat the details and the testing.

correctable errors. Additionally, the memory used by the MCA entries can
grow without bound.
Change the code to maintain two separate lists: a list of entries which
still need to be logged, and a list of entries which have already been
logged. Additionally, allow a user-configurable limit on the number of
entries which will be saved after they are logged. (The limit defaults
to -1 [unlimited], which is the current behavior.)

Since we do know what some of them specifically are, we can set vm_guest

Also, if we see the CPUID has the HV flag, but we were unable to find a
definitive vendor in the Hypervisor CPUID Information Leaf, fall back to
the older detection methods, as they may be able to determine a specific

This allows replacing "sys/eventfilter.h" includes with "sys/_eventfilter.h"
in other header files (e.g., sys/{bus,conf,cpu}.h) and reduces header
pollution substantially.
EVENTHANDLER_DECLARE and EVENTHANDLER_LIST_DECLAREs were moved out of .c
files into appropriate headers (e.g., sys/proc.h, powernv/opal.h).
As a side effect of reduced header pollution, many .c files and headers no
longer contain needed definitions. The remainder of the patch addresses
adding appropriate includes to fix those files.
LOCK_DEBUG and LOCK_FILE_LINE_ARG are moved to sys/_lock.h, as required by
sys/mutex.h since r326106 (but silently protected by header pollution prior
to this change).
No functional change (intended). Of course, any out of tree modules that
relied on header pollution for sys/eventhandler.h, sys/lock.h, or
sys/mutex.h inclusion need to be fixed. __FreeBSD_version has been bumped.
type, use a table to make it easier to add more in the future, if needed.
Add VirtualBox detection to the table ("VBoxVBoxVBox" is the hypervisor
vendor string to look for.) Also add VM_GUEST_VBOX to the VM_GUEST
enumeration to indicate VirtualBox.
Save the CPUID base for the hypervisor entry that we detected. Driver code
may need to know about it in order to obtain additional CPUID features.
