Subject: [PATCH v4 4/7] x86/its: Use switch/case to apply mitigation
Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2025 10:29:47 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250611-eibrs-fix-v4-4-5ff86cac6c61@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250611-eibrs-fix-v4-0-5ff86cac6c61@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.
