Subject: x86/cpufeature: Blacklist SPEC_CTRL/PRED_CMD on early Spectre v2 microcodes
From: David Woodhouse dwmw@amazon.co.uk
Date: Thu Jan 25 16:14:14 2018 +0000

From: David Woodhouse dwmw@amazon.co.uk

commit a5b2966364538a0e68c9fa29bc0a3a1651799035

This doesn't refuse to load the affected microcodes; it just refuses to
use the Spectre v2 mitigation features if they're detected, by clearing
the appropriate feature bits.

The AMD CPUID bits are handled here too, because hypervisors *may* have
been exposing those bits even on Intel chips, for fine-grained control
of what's available.

It is non-trivial to use x86_match_cpu() for this table because that
doesn't handle steppings. And the approach taken in commit bd9240a18
almost made me lose my lunch.
