Subject: [PATCH 5.4 02/18] x86,bugs: Unconditionally allow spectre_v2=retpoline,amd
Date: Wed,  9 Mar 2022 16:59:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220309155856.625474606@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220309155856.552503355@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

commit f8a66d608a3e471e1202778c2a36cbdc96bae73b upstream.

Currently Linux prevents usage of retpoline,amd on !AMD hardware, this
is unfriendly and gets in the way of testing. Remove this restriction.
