4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 0270be3e34efb05a88bc4c422572ece038ef3608 upstream The upcoming support for the virtual SPEC_CTRL MSR on AMD needs to reuse speculative_store_bypass_update() to avoid code duplication. Add an argument for supplying a thread info (TIF) value and create a wrapper speculative_store_bypass_update_current() which is used at the existing call site.
