[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.15 17/42] x86/bugs: Do IBPB fallback check only once

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

 



From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 0fe4aeea9c01baabecc8c3afc7889c809d939bc2 ]

When booting with retbleed=auto, if the kernel wasn't built with
CONFIG_CC_HAS_RETURN_THUNK, the mitigation falls back to IBPB.  Make
sure a warning is printed in that case.  The IBPB fallback check is done
twice, but it really only needs to be done once.
