Subject: x86/cpufeatures: Add AMD feature bits for Speculation Control From: David Woodhouse dwmw@amazon.co.uk Date: Thu Jan 25 16:14:11 2018 +0000
From: David Woodhouse dwmw@amazon.co.uk
commit 5d10cbc91d9eb5537998b65608441b592eec65e7
AMD exposes the PRED_CMD/SPEC_CTRL MSRs slightly differently to Intel. See http://lkml.kernel.org/r/2b3e25cc-286d-8bd0-aeaf-9ac4aae39de8@amd.com
