Subject: [PATCH 1/3] cpu/bugs: Fix selecting Automatic IBRS using spectre_v2=eibrs
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 12:01:55 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260224180157.725159-2-kim.phillips@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260224180157.725159-1-kim.phillips@amd.com>
The original commit that added support for Automatic IBRS neglected
to amend a condition to include AUTOIBRS in addition to the
X86_FEATURE_IBRS_ENHANCED check. Fix that, and another couple
of minor outliers.
Fixes: e7862eda309e ("x86/cpu: Support AMD Automatic IBRS")
