[PATCH 5.15 59/78] x86/speculation: Fix RSB filling with CONFIG_RETPOLINE=n

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Jul 12 2022 - 15:05:54 EST


From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit b2620facef4889fefcbf2e87284f34dcd4189bce upstream.

If a kernel is built with CONFIG_RETPOLINE=n, but the user still wants
to mitigate Spectre v2 using IBRS or eIBRS, the RSB filling will be
silently disabled.

There's nothing retpoline-specific about RSB buffer filling. Remove the
CONFIG_RETPOLINE guards around it.
