Hi all, Today's linux-next merge of the tip tree got a conflict in: arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c between commit: be8de49bea50 ("x86/speculation: Identify processors vulnerable to SMT RSB predictions") from Linus' tree and commit: e7862eda309e ("x86/cpu: Support AMD Automatic IBRS") from the tip tree. I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary. This is now fixed as far as linux-next is concerned, but any non trivial conflicts should be mentioned to your upstream maintainer when your tree is submitted for merging. You may also want to consider cooperating with the maintainer of the conflicting tree to minimise any particularly complex conflicts. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell diff --cc arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c index f3cc7699e1e1,38646f1b5f14..000000000000 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c @@@ -1403,14 -1412,6 +1414,9 @@@ static void __init cpu_set_bug_bits(str setup_force_cpu_bug(X86_BUG_RETBLEED); } - if (cpu_has(c, X86_FEATURE_IBRS_ENHANCED) && - !cpu_matches(cpu_vuln_whitelist, NO_EIBRS_PBRSB) && - !(ia32_cap & ARCH_CAP_PBRSB_NO)) - setup_force_cpu_bug(X86_BUG_EIBRS_PBRSB); - + if (cpu_matches(cpu_vuln_blacklist, SMT_RSB)) + setup_force_cpu_bug(X86_BUG_SMT_RSB); + if (cpu_matches(cpu_vuln_whitelist, NO_MELTDOWN)) return;
