[GIT pull] x86/urgent for v6.3-rc1

Linus,

up to:  dd093fb08e8f: virt/sev-guest: Return -EIO if certificate buffer is not large enough


A small set of updates for x86:

 - Return -EIO instead of success when the certificate buffer for SEV
   guests is not large enough.

 - Allow STIPB to be enabled with legacy IBSR. Legacy IBRS is cleared on
   return to userspace for performance reasons, but the leaves user space
   vulnerable to cross-thread attacks which STIBP prevents. Update the
   documentation accordingly.

Thanks,

	tglx
