Subject: [PATCH v3 6/7] x86/its: Remove =stuff dependency on retbleed
Date: Thu, 22 May 2025 18:21:49 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250522-eibrs-fix-v3-6-12704e291e1e@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250522-eibrs-fix-v3-0-12704e291e1e@linux.intel.com>
Allow ITS to enable stuffing independent of retbleed. The dependency is
only on retpoline. It is a valid case for retbleed to be mitigated by eIBRS
while ITS deploys stuffing at the same time.
