Pull x86/srso fixes from Borislav Petkov: "Add a mitigation for the speculative RAS (Return Address Stack) overflow vulnerability on AMD processors. In short, this is yet another issue where userspace poisons a microarchitectural structure which can then be used to leak privileged information through a side channel" * tag 'x86_bugs_srso' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/srso: Tie SBPB bit setting to microcode patch detection x86/srso: Add a forgotten NOENDBR annotation x86/srso: Fix return thunks in generated code x86/srso: Add IBPB on VMEXIT x86/srso: Add IBPB x86/srso: Add SRSO_NO support x86/srso: Add IBPB_BRTYPE support x86/srso: Add a Speculative RAS Overflow mitigation x86/bugs: Increase the x86 bugs vector size to two u32s
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
