The AMD64_LS_CFG MSR is a per core MSR on Family 17H CPUs. That means when hyperthreading is enabled the SSBD bit toggle needs to take both cores into account. Otherwise the following situation can happen: CPU0 CPU1 disable SSB disable SSB enable SSB <- Enables it for the Core, i.e. for CPU0 as well So after the SSB enable on CPU1 the task on CPU0 runs with SSB enabled again. On Intel the SSBD control is per core as well, but the synchronization logic is implemented behind the per thread SPEC_CTRL MSR. It works like this: CORE_SPEC_CTRL = THREAD0_SPEC_CTRL | THREAD1_SPEC_CTRL i.e. if one of the threads enables a mitigation then this affects both and the mitigation is only disabled in the core when both threads disabled it. Add the necessary synchronization logic for AMD family 17H. Unfortunately that requires a spinlock to serialize the access to the MSR, but the locks are only shared between siblings.

README
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
