    x86/speculation: Prepare for per task indirect branch speculation control · 5bfbe3ad
    Tim Chen 提交于
    To avoid the overhead of STIBP always on, it's necessary to allow per task
    control of STIBP.
    
    Add a new task flag TIF_SPEC_IB and evaluate it during context switch if
    SMT is active and flag evaluation is enabled by the speculation control
    code. Add the conditional evaluation to x86_virt_spec_ctrl() as well so the
    guest/host switch works properly.
    
    This has no effect because TIF_SPEC_IB cannot be set yet and the static key
    which controls evaluation is off. Preparatory patch for adding the control
    code.
    
    [ tglx: Simplify the context switch logic and make the TIF evaluation
      	depend on SMP=y and on the static key controlling the conditional
      	update. Rename it to TIF_SPEC_IB because it controls both STIBP and
      	IBPB ]
