which support eIBRS, i.e., the hardware-assisted speculation restriction
after it has been shown that such machines are vulnerable even with the
hardware mitigation.
- Do not use the default LFENCE-based Spectre v2 mitigation on AMD as it
is insufficient to mitigate such attacks. Instead, switch to retpolines
on all AMD by default.
- Update the docs and add some warnings for the obviously vulnerable
cmdline configurations.

Pull x86 spectre fixes from Borislav Petkov:
- Mitigate Spectre v2-type Branch History Buffer attacks on machines
which support eIBRS, i.e., the hardware-assisted speculation
restriction after it has been shown that such machines are vulnerable
even with the hardware mitigation.
- Do not use the default LFENCE-based Spectre v2 mitigation on AMD as
it is insufficient to mitigate such attacks. Instead, switch to
retpolines on all AMD by default.
- Update the docs and add some warnings for the obviously vulnerable
cmdline configurations.
