Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] x86/speculation: Enable cross-hyperthread spectre v2
STIBP mitigation
From: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@...e.cz>
STIBP is a feature provided by certain Intel ucodes / CPUs. This feature
(once enabled) prevents cross-hyperthread control of decisions made by
indirect branch predictors.
Enable this feature if
- the CPU is vulnerable to spectre v2
- the CPU supports SMT and has SMT siblings online
- spectre_v2 mitigation autoselection is enabled (default)
After some previous discussion, this patch leaves STIBP on all the time,
as wrmsr on crossing kernel boundary is a no-no. This could perhaps later
be a bit more optimized (like disabling it in NOHZ, experiment with
disabling it in idle, etc) if needed.
Note: the code could be made less awkward if it'd be guaranteed that STIBP
could be kept on on a primary thread with SMT sibling being offline, without
potentially imposing performance penalty. This doesn't seem to be defined
anywhere though, so let's better be safe then sorry and always flip STIBP
both on primary and sibling threads on hotplug transitions.

Hopefully properly threaded now, sorry for the duplicates. alpine 2.21
clearly has a bug that it sometimes eats Reply-to: header :/ Apologizes
for all the noise
