commit ec9404e upstream. Branch history clearing software sequences and hardware control BHI_DIS_S were defined to mitigate Branch History Injection (BHI). Add cmdline spectre_bhi={on|off|auto} to control BHI mitigation: auto - Deploy the hardware mitigation BHI_DIS_S, if available. on - Deploy the hardware mitigation BHI_DIS_S, if available, otherwise deploy the software sequence at syscall entry and VMexit. off - Turn off BHI mitigation. The default is auto mode which does not deploy the software sequence mitigation. This is because of the hardening done in the syscall dispatch path, which is the likely target of BHI.
