Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
PCI: Fix link speed calculation on retrain failure<br />
<br />
When pcie_failed_link_retrain() fails to retrain, it tries to revert to the<br />
previous link speed. However it calculates that speed from the Link<br />
Control 2 register without masking out non-speed bits first.<br />
<br />
PCIE_LNKCTL2_TLS2SPEED() converts such incorrect values to<br />
PCI_SPEED_UNKNOWN (0xff), which in turn causes a WARN splat in<br />
pcie_set_target_speed():<br />
<br />
pci 0000:00:01.1: [1022:14ed] type 01 class 0x060400 PCIe Root Port<br />
pci 0000:00:01.1: broken device, retraining non-functional downstream link at 2.5GT/s<br />
pci 0000:00:01.1: retraining failed<br />
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1 at drivers/pci/pcie/bwctrl.c:168 pcie_set_target_speed<br />

<br />
Mask out the non-speed bits in PCIE_LNKCTL2_TLS2SPEED() and<br />
PCIE_LNKCAP_SLS2SPEED() so they don&#39;t incorrectly return PCI_SPEED_UNKNOWN.<br />
