Subject: [PATCH v3 01/20] x86/srso: Fix srso_show_state() side effect
Date:   Mon,  4 Sep 2023 22:04:45 -0700
Message-ID: <27d128899cb8aee9eb2b57ddc996742b0c1d776b.1693889988.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org>

Reading the 'spec_rstack_overflow' sysfs file can trigger an unnecessary
MSR write, and possibly even a (handled) exception if the microcode
hasn't been updated.

Avoid all that by just checking X86_FEATURE_IBPB_BRTYPE instead, which
gets set by srso_select_mitigation() if the updated microcode exists.

Fixes: fb3bd914b3ec ("x86/srso: Add a Speculative RAS Overflow mitigation")
