From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2022 21:15:54 +0000 (+0200) Subject: x86/bugs: Optimize SPEC_CTRL MSR writes X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e03415eeba781f0b7568d359e5f161a7b3a5c7c7;p=linux.git x86/bugs: Optimize SPEC_CTRL MSR writes commit c779bc1a9002fa474175b80e72b85c9bf628abb0 upstream. When changing SPEC_CTRL for user control, the WRMSR can be delayed until return-to-user when KERNEL_IBRS has been enabled. This avoids an MSR write during context switch.
