[RFC 01/10] x86/speculation: Add basic support for IBPB

From: KarimAllah Ahmed
Date: Sat Jan 20 2018 - 14:24:13 EST


From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Expose indirect_branch_prediction_barrier() for use in subsequent patches.

[karahmed: remove the special-casing of skylake for using IBPB (wtf?),
switch to using ALTERNATIVES instead of static_cpu_has]
[dwmw2: set up ax/cx/dx in the asm too so it gets NOP'd out]
