David Kaplan 4fa7d880ae x86/bugs: Select best SRSO mitigation
The SRSO bug can theoretically be used to conduct user->user or guest->guest
attacks and requires a mitigation (namely IBPB instead of SBPB on context
switch) for these.  So mark SRSO as being applicable to the user->user and
guest->guest attack vectors.

Additionally, SRSO supports multiple mitigations which mitigate different
potential attack vectors.  Some CPUs are also immune to SRSO from
certain attack vectors (like user->kernel).

Use the specific attack vectors requiring mitigation to select the best
SRSO mitigation to avoid unnecessary performance hits.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
