Merge tag 'x86_cpu_for_v6.3_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 cpuid updates from Borislav Petkov:
- Cache the AMD debug registers in per-CPU variables to avoid MSR
writes where possible, when supporting a debug registers swap feature
for SEV-ES guests
- Add support for AMD's version of eIBRS called Automatic IBRS which is
a set-and-forget control of indirect branch restriction speculation
resources on privilege change
- Add support for a new x86 instruction - LKGS - Load kernel GS which
is part of the FRED infrastructure
- Reset SPEC_CTRL upon init to accomodate use cases like kexec which
rediscover
- Other smaller fixes and cleanups
