Bug#1017425: [PATCH] x86/speculation: Avoid LFENCE in FILL_RETURN_BUFFER on CPUs that lack it

From: Ben Hutchings The mitigation for PBRSB includes adding LFENCE instructions to the RSB filling sequence. However, RSB filling is done on some older CPUs that don't support the LFENCE instruction. Define and use a BARRIER_NOSPEC macro which makes the LFENCE conditional

structions, which should be conditional since they are part of SSE2. As a temporary workaround, disabling the Spectre v2 mitigation with the kernel parameter "nospectre_v2" should allow this kernel version to run on older CPUs without SSE2. We'll fix this properly in a later update.

ome time soon we should stop releasing kernel binaries or an installer for i386. (If we don't make that change for bookworm, then we should probably strongly encourage users to use 64-bit kernels on 64-bit capable hardware, and document how to install a foreign kernel package.) Ben. -- Ben
