Pull x86 IBTI mitigation from Dave Hansen:
"Mitigate Intra-mode Branch History Injection via classic BFP programs
This adds the branch history clearing mitigation to cBPF programs for
x86. Intra-mode BHI attacks via cBPF a.k.a IBTI-History was reported
by researchers at VUSec.
For hardware that doesn't support BHI_DIS_S, the recommended
mitigation is to run the short software sequence followed by the IBHF
instruction after cBPF execution. On hardware that does support
BHI_DIS_S, enable BHI_DIS_S and execute the IBHF after cBPF execution.
The Indirect Branch History Fence (IBHF) is a new instruction that
prevents indirect branch target predictions after the barrier from
using branch history from before the barrier while BHI_DIS_S is
enabled. On older systems this will map to a NOP. It is recommended to
add this fence at the end of the cBPF program to support VM migration.
This instruction is required on newer parts with BHI_NO to fully
mitigate against these attacks.
The current code disables the mitigation for anything running with the
SYS_ADMIN capability bit set. The intention was not to waste time
mitigating a process that has access to anything it wants anyway"
