From 9ab2237f1979f31de228b2a73b56925dbde938d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eduardo Habkost Date: Wed, 20 Nov 2019 13:49:11 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] i386: Add new versions of Skylake/Cascadelake/Icelake without TSX One of the mitigation methods for TAA[1] is to disable TSX support on the host system. Linux added a mechanism to disable TSX globally through the kernel command line, and many Linux distributions now default to tsx=off. This makes existing CPU models that have HLE and RTM enabled not usable anymore. Add new versions of all CPU models that have the HLE and RTM features enabled, that can be used when TSX is disabled in the host system.
