5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Pawan Gupta <pawan.kumar.gupta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit e95df4ec0c0c9791941f112db699fae794b9862a upstream.
Currently MMIO Stale Data mitigation for CPUs not affected by MDS/TAA is
to only deploy VERW at VMentry by enabling mmio_stale_data_clear static
branch. No mitigation is needed for kernel->user transitions. If such
CPUs are also affected by RFDS, its mitigation may set
X86_FEATURE_CLEAR_CPU_BUF to deploy VERW at kernel->user and VMentry.
This could result in duplicate VERW at VMentry.
Fix this by disabling mmio_stale_data_clear static branch when
X86_FEATURE_CLEAR_CPU_BUF is enabled.
