4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 6f41c34d69eb005e7848716bbcafc979b35037d5 upstream. The machine check idtentry uses an indirect branch directly from the low level code. This evades the speculation protection. Replace it by a direct call into C code and issue the indirect call there so the compiler can apply the proper speculation protection.
