From: Joan Bruguera Micó <joanbrugueram@gmail.com>

I'm observing a kernel panic on boot on both Arch Linux and Fedora Rawhide,
reproduced on a real Intel i5-7200U (with `retbleed=stuff`), and also AMD 5700G
(with `retbleed=stuff,force`) on both real hw. and QEMU+KVM with `-cpu=host`.

The panic seems to be triggered by systemd attempting to load a BPF program
(see "bpf-lsm: LSM BPF program attached" in the trace below).
Disabling BPF using `lsm=...` fixes the panic and the system boots.

It can be reproduced with Fedora-Cloud-Base-Rawhide-20230105.n.0.x86_64.qcow2
(from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Cloud)
launching QEMU with:
    qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -cpu host -m 1024 -serial stdio -hda \
        Fedora-Cloud-Base-Rawhide-20230105.n.0.x86_64.qcow2
and appending `retbleed=stuff,force` on the GRUB command line.

I'm experimenting with a patch that adjusts `ip` (in `emit_rsb_call`) after
calling `x86_call_depth_emit_accounting` but it needs a bit more testing.

PS: Sorry if this has already been discussed elsewhere, I can't find it
(but it's been a while since this patch was posted and merged)
