Pull x86 fixes from Borislav Petkov: - Make sure clearing CPU buffers using VERW happens at the latest possible point in the return-to-userspace path, otherwise memory accesses after the VERW execution could cause data to land in CPU buffers again * tag 'x86_urgent_for_v6.8_rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: KVM/VMX: Move VERW closer to VMentry for MDS mitigation KVM/VMX: Use BT+JNC, i.e. EFLAGS.CF to select VMRESUME vs. VMLAUNCH x86/bugs: Use ALTERNATIVE() instead of mds_user_clear static key x86/entry_32: Add VERW just before userspace transition x86/entry_64: Add VERW just before userspace transition x86/bugs: Add asm helpers for executing VERW
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 Restructured Text 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.
