Subject: [PATCH] x86/CPU/AMD: Simplify the spectral chicken fix
Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2025 12:07:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251230110731.28108-1-bp@kernel.org> (raw)
From: "Borislav Petkov (AMD)" <bp@alien8.de>
msr_set_bit() takes a bit number to set but MSR_ZEN2_SPECTRAL_CHICKEN_BIT
is a bit mask. The usual pattern that code uses is a _BIT-named type
macro instead of a mask.
So convert it to a bit number to reflect that.
Also, msr_set_bit() already does the reading and checking whether the
bit needs to be set so use that instead of a local variable.
Fixup tabbing while at it.
No functional changes.
