    x86/spec-ctrl: Protect against Speculative Code Store Bypass
    
    Modern x86 processors have far-better-than-architecturally-guaranteed self
    modifying code detection.  Typically, when a write hits an instruction in
    flight, a Machine Clear occurs to flush stale content in the frontend and
    backend.
    
    For self modifying code, before a write which hits an instruction in flight
    retires, the frontend can speculatively decode and execute the old 
instruction
    stream.  Speculation of this form can suffer from type confusion in 
registers,
    and potentially leak data.
    
    Furthermore, updates are typically byte-wise, rather than atomic.  Depending
    on timing, speculation can race ahead multiple times between individual
    writes, and execute the transiently-malformed instruction stream.
    
    Xen has stubs which are used in certain cases for emulation purposes.  
Inhibit
    speculation between updating the stub and executing it.
    
    This is XSA-375 / CVE-2021-0089.
