    Merge tag 'x86_cpu_for_v6.3_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip · 87793476
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull x86 cpuid updates from Borislav Petkov:
    
     - Cache the AMD debug registers in per-CPU variables to avoid MSR
       writes where possible, when supporting a debug registers swap feature
       for SEV-ES guests
    
     - Add support for AMD's version of eIBRS called Automatic IBRS which is
       a set-and-forget control of indirect branch restriction speculation
       resources on privilege change
    
     - Add support for a new x86 instruction - LKGS - Load kernel GS which
       is part of the FRED infrastructure
    
     - Reset SPEC_CTRL upon init to accomodate use cases like kexec which
       rediscover
    
     - Other smaller fixes and cleanups
