[Patch v7 04/18] x86/speculation: Add X86_FEATURE_USE_IBRS_ENHANCED

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



STIBP is not needed when enhanced IBRS is used for Spectre V2 mitigation.
A CPU feature flag to indicate that enhanced IBRS is used will be handy
for skipping STIBP for this case.

Add X86_FEATURE_USE_IBRS_ENHANCED feature bit to indicate
enhanced IBRS is used for Spectre V2 mitigation.
