Subject: [PATCH v3 4/7] x86/its: Use switch/case to apply mitigation
Date: Thu, 22 May 2025 18:21:18 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250522-eibrs-fix-v3-4-12704e291e1e@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250522-eibrs-fix-v3-0-12704e291e1e@linux.intel.com>
Prepare to apply stuffing mitigation in its_apply_mitigation(). This is
currently only done via retbleed mitigation. Also using switch/case makes
it evident that mitigation mode like VMEXIT_ONLY doesn't need any special
handling.
