x86/srso: Tie SBPB bit setting to microcode patch detection
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The SBPB bit in MSR_IA32_PRED_CMD is supported only after a microcode
patch has been applied so set X86_FEATURE_SBPB only then. Otherwise,
guests would attempt to set that bit and #GP on the MSR write.

While at it, make SMT detection more robust as some guests - depending
on how and what CPUID leafs their report - lead to cpu_smt_control
getting set to CPU_SMT_NOT_SUPPORTED but SRSO_NO should be set for any
guest incarnation where one simply cannot do SMT, for whatever reason.

Fixes: fb3bd91 ("x86/srso: Add a Speculative RAS Overflow mitigation")
