Linux kernel source tree
c9f4c45c8e
The Gather Data Sampling (GDS) vulnerability is common to all Skylake
processors. However, the "client" Skylakes* are now in this list:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000022396/processors.html
which means they are no longer included for new vulnerabilities here:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/topic-technology/software-security-guidance/processors-affected-consolidated-product-cpu-model.html
or in other GDS documentation. Thus, they were not included in the
original GDS mitigation patches.
Mark SKYLAKE and SKYLAKE_L as vulnerable to GDS to match all the
other Skylake CPUs (which include Kaby Lake). Also group the CPUs
so that the ones that share the exact same vulnerabilities are next
to each other.
Last, move SRBDS to the end of each line. This makes it clear at a
glance that SKYLAKE_X is unique. Of the five Skylakes, it is the
only "server" CPU and has a different implementation from the
clients of the "special register" hardware, making it immune to SRBDS.
This makes the diff much harder to read, but the resulting table is
worth it.
I very much appreciate the report from Michael Zhivich about this
issue. Despite what level of support a hardware vendor is providing,
the kernel very much needs an accurate and up-to-date list of
vulnerable CPUs. More reports like this are very welcome.
* Client Skylakes are CPUID 406E3/506E3 which is family 6, models
0x4E and 0x5E, aka INTEL_FAM6_SKYLAKE and INTEL_FAM6_SKYLAKE_L.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
