Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdgpu: zero-initialize GART table on allocation

GART TLB is flushed after unmapping but not after mapping. Since
amdgpu_bo_create_kernel() does not zero-initialize the buffer, when a
single PTE is written the TLB may speculatively load other uninitialized
entries from the same cacheline. Those garbage entries can appear valid,
and a subsequent write to another PTE in the same cacheline may cause the
GPU to use a stale garbage PTE from the TLB.

Fix this by calling memset_io() to zero-initialize the GART table with
gart_pte_flags immediately after allocation.

Using AMDGPU_GEM_CREATE_VRAM_CLEARED, SDMA-based clear will not work
since SDMA needs GART to be initialized to work.
