13.08.24 10:40, Jan Beulich:
I'm okay-ish with the simple stubbing out for update_mcu_opt_ctrl(), but
set_in_mcu_opt_ctrl() imo requires more work. The call sites in spec_ctrl.c
shouldn't give the wrong impression of having some effect. Imo in
init_speculation_mitigations() an #endif wants to move down, while all of
gds_calculations() wants to be compiled out. And that likely extends to
further Intel-only functions there (with an early bail-out keyed to
boot_cpu_data.x86_vendor != X86_VENDOR_INTEL). Which overall likely means
there wants to be another separate patch dealing with that. (And then
maybe a counterpart one for AMD.)

Thanks for a suggestion, indeed there are many routines there that can be put under CONFIG_{AMD,INTEL}.
