I just tried
Linux version 6.5.0-rc5-00039-g138bcddb86d8 (nathan@...-arch.thelio-3990X) (x86_64-linux-gcc (GCC) 10.4.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.39) #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Aug 10 07:48:28 MST 2023
[ 0.000259] Speculative Return Stack Overflow: Mitigation: safe RET
on the host...

with

in the guest and I see the same problem.

Configuration difference? Here is the one from the most recent build:
https://gist.github.com/nathanchance/2d7ad0b9440a6a2ec5ba0b88e3e673a9
Is there any other information that could be relevant here? My microcode
version according to dmesg, in case that matters.
[ 2.408527] microcode: microcode updated early to new patch_level=0x0830107a
Is that machine Zen 2? I see this issue on my Ryzen 3 4300G as well,
which is also Zen 2.

Seems like I can reproduce it with earlier versions of GCC (and I could
reproduce it with clang) so it does not seem like it is toolchain
related on the host side but might be interesting to test.
I just use https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/ for easy
access to multiple versions.
Cheers,
Nathan
