Merge tag 'x86_urgent_for_v6.8_rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 fixes from Borislav Petkov:

 - Make sure clearing CPU buffers using VERW happens at the latest
   possible point in the return-to-userspace path, otherwise memory
   accesses after the VERW execution could cause data to land in CPU
   buffers again
