Subject: [PATCH] x86/bugs: Fix handling when srso mitigation is disabled
Date: Wed, 4 Sep 2024 10:07:11 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240904150711.193022-1-david.kaplan@amd.com> (raw)

When the srso mitigation is disabled, either via mitigations=off or
spec_rstack_overflow=off, SBPB should be used instead of IBPB if
possible.  Additionally, move the check earlier in the function so no
warning is printed about the lack of IBPB-enhancing microcode since the
user has turned off the mitigation.
