[PATCH -v2] x86/CPU/AMD: Make sure EFER[AIBRSE] is set

From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Fri Mar 10 2023 - 11:27:37 EST


v2, with feedback addressed, and rediffed ontop of 6.3-rc1:

---
From: "Borislav Petkov (AMD)" <bp@xxxxxxxxx>

The AutoIBRS bit gets set only on the BSP as part of determining which
mitigation to enable on AMD. Setting on the APs relies on the
circumstance that the APs get booted through the trampoline and EFER
- the MSR which contains that bit - gets replicated on every AP from the
BSP.

However, this can change in the future and considering the security
implications of this bit not being set on every CPU, make sure it is set
by verifying EFER later in the boot process and on every AP.
