+ * It should be used on parts prior to Alder Lake. Newer parts should use the
+ * BHI_DIS_S hardware control instead. If a pre-Alder Lake part is being
+ * virtualized on newer hardware the VMM should protect against BHI attacks by
+ * setting BHI_DIS_S for the guests.
+ *
+ * CALLs/RETs are necessary to prevent Loop Stream Detector(LSD) from engaging
+ * and not clearing the branch history. The call tree looks like:
+ *
+ * call 1
+ * call 2
+ * call 2
+ * call 2
+ * call 2
+ * call 2
+ * ret
+ * ret
+ * ret

+ *
+ * This means that the stack is non-constant and ORC can't unwind it with %rsp
+ * alone. Therefore we unconditionally set up the frame pointer, which allows
+ * ORC to unwind properly.
+ *
+ * The alignment is for performance and not for safety, and may be safely
+ * refactored in the future if needed.
