Merge tag 'x86_bugs_for_v5.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 spectre fixes from Borislav Petkov:

 - Mitigate Spectre v2-type Branch History Buffer attacks on machines
   which support eIBRS, i.e., the hardware-assisted speculation
   restriction after it has been shown that such machines are vulnerable
   even with the hardware mitigation.

 - Do not use the default LFENCE-based Spectre v2 mitigation on AMD as
   it is insufficient to mitigate such attacks. Instead, switch to
   retpolines on all AMD by default.

 - Update the docs and add some warnings for the obviously vulnerable
   cmdline configurations.
