I would think that you would only want to set IBPB_RET if either IBPB_RET or SPEC_CTRL is set on the hypervisor. if (boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_AMD_IBPB_RET) || boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_SPEC_CTRL) kvm_cpu_cap_set(X86_FEATURE_AMD_IBPB_RET); Right? Thanks, Tom > + } > if (boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_IBRS)) > kvm_cpu_cap_set(X86_FEATURE_AMD_IBRS); > if (boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_STIBP))
