Linus Torvalds 877934769e - Cache the AMD debug registers in per-CPU variables to avoid MSR writes
where possible, when supporting a debug registers swap feature for
   SEV-ES guests
 
 - Add support for AMD's version of eIBRS called Automatic IBRS which is
   a set-and-forget control of indirect branch restriction speculation
   resources on privilege change
 
 - Add support for a new x86 instruction - LKGS - Load kernel GS which is
   part of the FRED infrastructure
 
 - Reset SPEC_CTRL upon init to accomodate use cases like kexec which
   rediscover
 
 - Other smaller fixes and cleanups
