5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 1cea8a280dfd1016148a3820676f2f03e3f5b898 upstream.
The ARCH_CAP_RRSBA check isn't correct: RRSBA may have already been
disabled by the Spectre v2 mitigation (or can otherwise be disabled by
the BHI mitigation itself if needed). In that case retpolines are fine.
Fixes: ec9404e40e8f ("x86/bhi: Add BHI mitigation knob")
