Peter Zijlstra e2d793a374 x86/bugs: Optimize SPEC_CTRL MSR writes
commit c779bc1a9002fa474175b80e72b85c9bf628abb0 upstream.

When changing SPEC_CTRL for user control, the WRMSR can be delayed
until return-to-user when KERNEL_IBRS has been enabled.

This avoids an MSR write during context switch.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
