[PATCH 5/5] x86/feature: Detect the x86 feature Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier

From: Ashok Raj
Date: Thu Jan 11 2018 - 20:33:01 EST


cpuid ax=0x7, return rdx bit 26 to indicate presence of both
IA32_SPEC_CTRL(MSR 0x48) and IA32_PRED_CMD(MSR 0x49)

BIT0: Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier

When this MSR is written with IBPB=1 it ensures that earlier code's behavior
doesn't control later indirect branch predictions.

Note this MSR is only writable and does not carry any state. Its a barrier
so the code should perform a wrmsr when the barrier is needed.
