  KVM/VMX: Move VERW closer to VMentry for MDS mitigation (2024-02-19 16:31:59 -0800)

----------------------------------------------------------------
- Make sure clearing CPU buffers using VERW happens at the latest possible
  point in the return-to-userspace path, otherwise memory accesses after
  the VERW execution could cause data to land in CPU buffers again

----------------------------------------------------------------
Pawan Gupta (5):
      x86/bugs: Add asm helpers for executing VERW
      x86/entry_64: Add VERW just before userspace transition
      x86/entry_32: Add VERW just before userspace transition
      x86/bugs: Use ALTERNATIVE() instead of mds_user_clear static key
      KVM/VMX: Move VERW closer to VMentry for MDS mitigation

Sean Christopherson (1):
      KVM/VMX: Use BT+JNC, i.e. EFLAGS.CF to select VMRESUME vs. VMLAUNCH
