Merge tag 'x86_bugs_retbleed' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 retbleed fixes from Borislav Petkov:
"Just when you thought that all the speculation bugs were addressed and
solved and the nightmare is complete, here's the next one: speculating
after RET instructions and leaking privileged information using the
now pretty much classical covert channels.
It is called RETBleed and the mitigation effort and controlling
functionality has been modelled similar to what already existing
mitigations provide"
