[PATCH v3 2/3] intel_idle: Sync up the SPEC_CTRL MSR value to x86_spec_ctrl_current

From: Waiman Long
Date: Wed Jun 21 2023 - 20:37:38 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 which is at odd with the other code that
keep track of its state in that percpu variable. Fix that by updating
x86_spec_ctrl_current percpu value to always match the content of the
SPEC_CTRL MSR.
