From: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> Subject: x86/spec-ctrl: Knobs for STIBP and PSFD, and follow hardware STIBP hint STIBP and PSFD are slightly weird bits, because they're both implied by other bits in MSR_SPEC_CTRL. Add fine grain controls for them, and take the implications into account when setting IBRS/SSBD. Rearrange the IBPB text/variables/logic to keep all the MSR_SPEC_CTRL bits together, for consistency. However, AMD have a hardware hint CPUID bit recommending that STIBP be set unilaterally. This is advertised on Zen3, so follow the recommendation. Furthermore, in such cases, set STIBP behind the guest's back for now.
