Or rather, enable stuffing on !SMEP:
+ if ((!boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_PTI) &&
+ !boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_SMEP)) || is_skylake_era()) {
+ setup_force_cpu_cap(X86_FEATURE_RSB_CTXSW);
+ pr_info("Filling RSB on context switch\n");
+ }
Should be
c995efd5a740 ("x86/retpoline: Fill RSB on context switch for affected CPUs")
in your tree.
