From: Babu Moger <babu.moger@amd.com>
Add the following feature bits.
amd-psfd : Predictive Store Forwarding Disable:
PSF is a hardware-based micro-architectural optimization
designed to improve the performance of code execution by
predicting address dependencies between loads and stores.
While SSBD (Speculative Store Bypass Disable) disables both
PSF and speculative store bypass, PSFD only disables PSF.
PSFD may be desirable for the software which is concerned
with the speculative behavior of PSF but desires a smaller
performance impact than setting SSBD.
Depends on the following kernel commit:
b73a54321ad8 ("KVM: x86: Expose Predictive Store Forwarding Disable")
stibp-always-on :
Single Thread Indirect Branch Prediction mode has enhanced
performance and may be left always on.
The documentation for the features are available in the links below.
