[PATCH v2 3/5] intel_idle: Sync up the SPEC_CTRL MSR value to x86_spec_ctrl_current

From: Waiman Long
Date: Tue Jun 20 2023 - 10:13:19 EST


When intel_idle_ibrs() is called, it modifies the SPEC_CTRL MSR to 0
in order disable IBRS. However, the new MSR value isn't reflected in
x86_spec_ctrl_current. That will cause the new spec_ctrl_msrs debugfs
file to show incorrect result. Fix that by updating x86_spec_ctrl_current
percpu value to always match the content of the SPEC_CTRL MSR.
