Re-tested on my AMD system (Dell PowerEdge R6515 w/ EPYC 7713) and it looks
like everything is still working properly.

The selftests seem to run cleanly:

[INFO] new_ssp = 7ff19be0dff8, *new_ssp = 7ff19be0e001
[INFO] changing ssp from 7ff19c7f1ff0 to 7ff19be0dff8
[INFO] ssp is now 7ff19be0e000

Additionally, I could see the control protection messages in dmesg when
running the shstk violation test from here:
