[PATCH v3 6/6] x86/cpufeature: Blacklist SPEC_CTRL on early Spectre v2 microcodes

From: David Woodhouse
Date: Wed Jan 24 2018 - 11:58:11 EST


We don't refuse to load the affected microcodes; just refuse to use SPEC_CTRL
if they're detected.

AMD has a feature bit for "PRED_CMD only", which Intel didn't do. When disabling
SPEC_CTRL we can actually turn on that AMD bit to allow IBPB to still be used.

We handle the other AMD bits here too, because hypervisors *may* have been
exposing those bits even on Intel chips, for fine-grained control of what's
available.
