Merge tag 'x86_urgent_for_v6.8_rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 fixes from Borislav Petkov:
- Make sure clearing CPU buffers using VERW happens at the latest
possible point in the return-to-userspace path, otherwise memory
accesses after the VERW execution could cause data to land in CPU
buffers again
* tag 'x86_urgent_for_v6.8_rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
KVM/VMX: Move VERW closer to VMentry for MDS mitigation
KVM/VMX: Use BT+JNC, i.e. EFLAGS.CF to select VMRESUME vs. VMLAUNCH
x86/bugs: Use ALTERNATIVE() instead of mds_user_clear static key
x86/entry_32: Add VERW just before userspace transition
x86/entry_64: Add VERW just before userspace transition
x86/bugs: Add asm helpers for executing VERW
