[PATCH for-4.19 v2] x86/spec-ctrl: Support for SRSO_US_NO and SRSO_MSR_FIX



AMD have updated the SRSO whitepaper[1] with further information.

There's a new SRSO_U/S_NO enumeration saying that SRSO attacks can't cross the
user/supervisor boundary.  i.e. Xen don't need to use IBPB-on-entry for PV.

There's also a new SRSO_MSR_FIX identifying that the BP_SPEC_REDUCE bit is
available in MSR_BP_CFG.  When set, SRSO attacks can't cross the host/guest
boundary.  i.e. Xen don't need to use IBPB-on-entry for HVM.

Extend ibpb_calculations() to account for these when calculating
opt_ibpb_entry_{pv,hvm} defaults.  Add a bp-spec-reduce option to control the
use of BP_SPEC_REDUCE, but activate it by default.

Because MSR_BP_CFG is core-scoped with a race condition updating it, repurpose
amd_check_erratum_1485() into amd_check_bp_cfg() and calculate all updates at
once.

Advertise SRSO_U/S_NO to guests whenever possible, as it allows the guest
kernel to skip SRSO protections too.  This is easy for HVM guests, but hard
for PV guests, as both the guest userspace and kernel operate in CPL3.  After
discussing with AMD, it is believed to be safe to advertise SRSO_U/S_NO to PV
guests when BP_SPEC_REDUCE is active.

Fix a typo in the SRSO_NO's comment.

v2:
 * Add "for HVM guests" to xen-command-line.pandoc
 * Print details on boot
 * Don't advertise SRSO_US_NO to PV guests if BP_SPEC_REDUCE isn't active.

For 4.19.  This should be no functional change on current hardware.  On
forthcoming hardware, it avoids the substantial perf hits which were necessary
to protect against the SRSO speculative vulnerability.
