    x86/cpufeatures: Disentangle MSR_SPEC_CTRL enumeration from IBRS · 7eb8956a
    Thomas Gleixner 提交于
    The availability of the SPEC_CTRL MSR is enumerated by a CPUID bit on
    Intel and implied by IBRS or STIBP support on AMD. That's just confusing
    and in case an AMD CPU has IBRS not supported because the underlying
    problem has been fixed but has another bit valid in the SPEC_CTRL MSR,
    the thing falls apart.
    
    Add a synthetic feature bit X86_FEATURE_MSR_SPEC_CTRL to denote the
    availability on both Intel and AMD.
    
    While at it replace the boot_cpu_has() checks with static_cpu_has() where
    possible. This prevents late microcode loading from exposing SPEC_CTRL, but
    late loading is already very limited as it does not reevaluate the
    mitigation options and other bits and pieces. Having static_cpu_has() is
    the simplest and least fragile solution.
