Subject: [PATCH] x86/speculation: Protect against userspace-userspace
 spectreRSB
Git-commit: fdf82a7856b32d905c39afc85e34364491e46346
Patch-mainline: v4.19-rc1
References: bnc#1102517, CVE-2018-15572

The article "Spectre Returns! Speculation Attacks using the Return Stack
Buffer" [1] describes two new (sub-)variants of spectrev2-like attacks,
making use solely of the RSB contents even on CPUs that don't fallback to
BTB on RSB underflow (Skylake+).

Mitigate userspace-userspace attacks by always unconditionally filling RSB on
context switch when the generic spectrev2 mitigation has been enabled.
