glibc tests its ability to detect CPU features by comparing its results to the /proc/cpuinfo file. The Intel TSX vulnerability called ZombieLoad 2 caused Intel to release a microcode update that disables TSX on impacted CPUs. Disability TSX has the effect of removing the Hardware Lock Elision (HLE) CPU flag as well. The initial microcode update (IPU 2021.1) was updated in IPU 2021.2 to disable TSX on additional CPUs. glibc has not been updated to account for this change. This patch adds the new CPU steppings to the list of steppings that should not support HLE. This issue was encountered on a Dell Precision 7540 with an Intel Core i9-9980HK CPU.
