I've made a 'msr-bitmap' branch in my linux-retpoline.git tree¹ which looks more like I expected. It's based on tip/x86/pti. In the ibpb branch (on which I've just done a pass over Karim's patches and would appreciate more feedback while he fixes up some remaining details and prepares to send it out again) I have deliberately done a merge from that branch, with the intention that I can go back and do a pull from your branch instead. All the IBRS bits are now in the 'ibrs' branch. As discussed, I'll keep rebasing those on top of what we have, for now. ¹ http://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/linux-retpoline.git
