Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] cpu/bugs: Allow spectre_v2=ibrs on x86 vendors other than Intel
Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2026 08:06:10 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260311130611.2201214-3-kim.phillips@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260311130611.2201214-1-kim.phillips@amd.com>

This is to prepare to allow legacy IBRS toggling on AMD systems,
where the BTB Isolation SEV-SNP feature can use it to optimize the
quick VM exit to re-entry path.

There is no reason this wasn't allowed in the first place, therefore
adding the cc: stable and Fixes: tags.

Fixes: 7c693f54c873 ("x86/speculation: Add spectre_v2=ibrs option to support Kernel IBRS")
