Subject: x86/speculation: Use IBRS if available before calling into firmware
From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit dd84441a797150dcc49298ec95c459a8891d8bb1 upstream.
Retpoline means the kernel is safe because it has no indirect branches.
But firmware isn't, so use IBRS for firmware calls if it's available.
Block preemption while IBRS is set, although in practice the call sites
already had to be doing that.
Ignore hpwdt.c for now. It's taking spinlocks and calling into firmware
code, from an NMI handler. I don't want to touch that with a bargepole.
