Linus Torvalds 4a01e748a5 - 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.

 - 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.
