[PATCH v8.1 12/12] x86/retpoline: Fill return stack buffer on vmexit

[David Woodhouse]

In accordance with the Intel and AMD documentation, we need to overwrite
all entries in the RSB on exiting a guest, to prevent malicious branch
target predictions from affecting the host kernel. This is needed both
for retpoline and for IBRS.

[ak: numbers again for the RSB stuffing labels]

I love the smell of bikeshed paint in the morning. But to be fair, this
one was actually an issue which might possibly have bitten in the future.

Can we please stop arguing about asm labels now though? Let's get this
stuff done, and we can set about the oh-so-important task of persuading
Linus to eliminate all numeric labels and rely on human-readable labels
with %= and \@ to make them unique, some time after the dust settles.
