Pull x86 fixes from Borislav Petkov:
"A couple more retbleed fallout fixes.
It looks like their urgency is decreasing so it seems like we've
managed to catch whatever snafus the limited -rc testing has exposed.
Maybe we're getting ready... :)
- Make retbleed mitigations 64-bit only (32-bit will need a bit more
work if even needed, at all).
- Prevent return thunks patching of the LKDTM modules as it is not
needed there
- Avoid writing the SPEC_CTRL MSR on every kernel entry on eIBRS
parts
- Enhance error output of apply_returns() when it fails to patch a
return thunk
- A sparse fix to the sev-guest module
- Protect EFI fw calls by issuing an IBPB on AMD"

virt: sev-guest: Pass the appropriate argument type to iounmap()
x86/amd: Use IBPB for firmware calls
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
