[PATCH 00/11] x86/ibt: FineIBT-BHI
From: Peter Zijlstra

Hi!
Respin of the FineIBT-BHI patches.
Scott has managed to get LLVM bits merged:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/e223485c9b38a5579991b8cebb6a200153eee245
Which prompted me to update these patches once again.
They boot and build the next kernel on my ADL when booted with: cfi=fineibt+bhi
Aside from the last two patches -- which implement the FineIBT-BHI scheme
proper -- I'm planning on getting these patches merged 'soon'.
Scott, what those last two patches need, aside from a lot more testing, is a
coherent writeup of how the mitigation works and ideally also a few numbers
proving the performance gains are worth it.
