[Patch v5 14/16] x86/speculation: Use STIBP to restrict speculation on non-dumpable task
From: Tim Chen
Date: Fri Nov 16 2018 - 21:27:55 EST
When a task changes its dumpability, arch_update_spec_ctrl_restriction()
is called to place restriction on the task's speculative execution
according to dumpability changes.
Implements arch_update_spec_restriction() for x86. Use STIBP to
restrict speculative execution when running a task set to non-dumpable,
or clear the restriction if the task is set to dumpable.
