[PATCH 2/2] x86/bugs: Fix the AMD SSBD usage of the SPEC_CTRL MSR

From: Tom Lendacky
Date: Mon Jul 02 2018 - 17:36:17 EST


On AMD, the presence of the MSR_SPEC_CTRL feature does not imply that the
SSBD mitigation support should use the SPEC_CTRL MSR. Other features could
have caused the MSR_SPEC_CTRL feature to be set, while a different SSBD
mitigation option is in place.

Update the SSBD support to check for the actual SSBD features that will
use the SPEC_CTRL MSR.
