IBPB is expected to clear the RSB. However, if X86_BUG_IBPB_NO_RET is
set, that doesn't happen. Make indirect_branch_prediction_barrier()
take that into account by calling write_ibpb() which clears RSB on
X86_BUG_IBPB_NO_RET:
/* Make sure IBPB clears return stack preductions too. */
FILL_RETURN_BUFFER %rax, RSB_CLEAR_LOOPS, X86_BUG_IBPB_NO_RET
Note that, as of the previous patch, write_ibpb() also reads
'x86_pred_cmd' in order to use SBPB when applicable:
movl _ASM_RIP(x86_pred_cmd), %eax
Therefore that existing behavior in indirect_branch_prediction_barrier()
is not lost.

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 reStructuredText 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.
