[PATCH 05/22] x86/srso: Fix SBPB enablement for mitigations=off

From: Josh Poimboeuf
Date: Sun Aug 20 2023 - 21:19:39 EST


If the user has requested no mitigations with mitigations=off, use the
lighter-weight SBPB instead of IBPB for other mitigations.

Note that even with mitigations=off, IBPB/SBPB may still be used for
Spectre v2 user <-> user protection. Whether that makes sense is a
question for another day.
