x86/speculation: Identify processors vulnerable to SMT RSB predictions
Certain AMD processors are vulnerable to a cross-thread return address predictions bug. When running in SMT mode and one of the sibling threads transitions out of C0 state, the other sibling thread could use return target predictions from the sibling thread that transitioned out of C0. The Spectre v2 mitigations cover the Linux kernel, as it fills the RSB when context switching to the idle thread. However, KVM allows a VMM to prevent exiting guest mode when transitioning out of C0. A guest could act maliciously in this situation, so create a new x86 BUG that can be used to detect if the processor is vulnerable.
