Subject: x86/nospec: Fix i386 RSB stuffing
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 332924973725e8cdcc783c175f68cf7e162cb9e5 upstream.
Turns out that i386 doesn't unconditionally have LFENCE, as such the
loop in __FILL_RETURN_BUFFER isn't actually speculation safe on such
chips.
Fixes: ba6e31af2be9 ("x86/speculation: Add LFENCE to RSB fill sequence")
