-From: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com>
-Subject: x86/spec-ctrl: Rework SPEC_CTRL_ENTRY_FROM_INTR_IST
-
-We are shortly going to add a conditional IBPB in this path.
-
-Therefore, we cannot hold spec_ctrl_flags in %eax, and rely on only clobbering
-it after we're done with its contents. %rbx is available for use, and the
-more normal register to hold preserved information in.
-
-With %rax freed up, use it instead of %rdx for the RSB tmp register, and for
-the adjustment to spec_ctrl_flags.
-
-This leaves no use of %rdx, except as 0 for the upper half of WRMSR. In
-practice, %rdx is 0 from SAVE_ALL on all paths and isn't likely to change in
-the foreseeable future, so update the macro entry requirements to state this
-dependency. This marginal optimisation can be revisited if circumstances
-change.
-
-No practical change.
-
-This is part of XSA-407.
