[PATCH RFC v9 08/51] x86/speculation: Do not enable Automatic IBRS if SEV SNP is enabled

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Kim Phillips <kim.phillips@xxxxxxx>

A hardware limitation prevents the host from enabling Automatic IBRS
when SNP is enabled.  Instead, fall back to retpolines.
