Subject: [PATCH v5 2/4] x86/idle: Disable IBRS when cpu is offline
Date:   Mon, 10 Jul 2023 15:48:55 -0400

Commit bf5835bcdb96 ("intel_idle: Disable IBRS during long idle")
disables IBRS when the CPU enters long idle. However, when a CPU
becomes offline, the IBRS bit is still set when X86_FEATURE_KERNEL_IBRS
is enabled. That will impact the performance of a sibling CPU. Mitigate
this performance impact by clearing all the mitigation bits in SPEC_CTRL
MSR when offline. When the CPU is online again, it will be re-initialized
and so restoring the SPEC_CTRL value isn't needed.

Add a comment to say that native_play_dead() is a __noreturn function,
but it can't be marked as such to avoid confusion about the missing
MSR restoration code.
