Message-ID: <20221117091952.1940850-34-suleiman@xxxxxxxxxx>
From: Pawan Gupta <pawan.kumar.gupta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit eb23b5ef9131e6d65011de349a4d25ef1b3d4314 upstream.
IBRS mitigation for spectre_v2 forces write to MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL at
every kernel entry/exit. On Enhanced IBRS parts setting
MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL[IBRS] only once at boot is sufficient. MSR writes at
every kernel entry/exit incur unnecessary performance loss.
When Enhanced IBRS feature is present, print a warning about this
unnecessary performance loss.
