[PATCH 4.15 17/60] x86/speculation: Simplify indirect_branch_prediction_barrier()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Feb 05 2018 - 13:52:36 EST


4.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Borislav Petkov bp@xxxxxxx

commit 64e16720ea0879f8ab4547e3b9758936d483909b

Make it all a function which does the WRMSR instead of having a hairy
inline asm.

[dwmw2: export it, fix CONFIG_RETPOLINE issues]
