The following commit has been merged into the x86/bugs branch of tip: Commit-ID: 071fcf6c28adcee293addd7258097949b8b54819 Gitweb: https://git.kernel.org/tip/071fcf6c28adcee293addd7258097949b8b54819 Author: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Fri, 25 Aug 2023 00:01:49 -07:00 Committer: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx> CommitterDate: Fri, 25 Aug 2023 11:22:01 +02:00 x86/srso: Remove redundant X86_FEATURE_ENTRY_IBPB check The X86_FEATURE_ENTRY_IBPB check is redundant here due to the above RETBLEED_MITIGATION_IBPB check. RETBLEED_MITIGATION_IBPB already implies X86_FEATURE_ENTRY_IBPB. So if we got here and 'has_microcode' is true, it means X86_FEATURE_ENTRY_IBPB is not set.
