    x86/speculation: Add prctl() control for indirect branch speculation · 9137bb27
    Thomas Gleixner authored
    Add the PR_SPEC_INDIRECT_BRANCH option for the PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL and
    PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL prctls to allow fine grained per task control of
    indirect branch speculation via STIBP and IBPB.
    
    Invocations:
     Check indirect branch speculation status with
     - prctl(PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL, PR_SPEC_INDIRECT_BRANCH, 0, 0, 0);
    
     Enable indirect branch speculation with
     - prctl(PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL, PR_SPEC_INDIRECT_BRANCH, PR_SPEC_ENABLE, 0, 0);
    
     Disable indirect branch speculation with
     - prctl(PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL, PR_SPEC_INDIRECT_BRANCH, PR_SPEC_DISABLE, 0, 0);
    
     Force disable indirect branch speculation with
     - prctl(PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL, PR_SPEC_INDIRECT_BRANCH, PR_SPEC_FORCE_DISABLE, 0, 0);
