The current GDS mitigation logic incorrectly returns early when the
attack vector mitigation is turned off, which leads to two problems:
1. CPUs without ARCH_CAP_GDS_CTRL support are incorrectly marked with
GDS_MITIGATION_OFF when they should be marked as
GDS_MITIGATION_UCODE_NEEDED.
2. The mitigation state checks and locking verification that follow are
skipped, which means:
- fail to detect if the mitigation was locked
- miss the warning when trying to disable a locked mitigation
Remove the early return to ensure proper mitigation state handling. This
allows:
- Proper mitigation classification for non-ARCH_CAP_GDS_CTRL CPUs
- Complete mitigation state verification
This also addresses the failed MSR 0x123 write attempt at boot on
non-ARCH_CAP_GDS_CTRL CPUs:

The SRSO bug can theoretically be used to conduct user->user or guest->guest
attacks and requires a mitigation (namely IBPB instead of SBPB on context
switch) for these. So mark SRSO as being applicable to the user->user and
guest->guest attack vectors.
Additionally, SRSO supports multiple mitigations which mitigate different
potential attack vectors. Some CPUs are also immune to SRSO from
certain attack vectors (like user->kernel).
Use the specific attack vectors requiring mitigation to select the best
SRSO mitigation to avoid unnecessary performance hits.

After a recent restructuring of the ITS mitigation, RSB stuffing can no longer
be enabled in eIBRS+Retpoline mode. Before ITS, retbleed mitigation only
allowed stuffing when eIBRS was not enabled. This was perfectly fine since
eIBRS mitigates retbleed.
However, RSB stuffing mitigation for ITS is still needed with eIBRS. The
restructuring solely relies on retbleed to deploy stuffing, and does not allow
it when eIBRS is enabled. This behavior is different from what was before the
restructuring. Fix it by allowing stuffing in eIBRS+retpoline mode also.

Restructure the ITS mitigation to use select/update/apply functions like
the other mitigations.
There is a particularly complex interaction between ITS and Retbleed as CDT
(Call Depth Tracking) is a mitigation for both, and either its=stuff or
retbleed=stuff will attempt to enable CDT.
retbleed_update_mitigation() runs first and will check the necessary
pre-conditions for CDT if either ITS or Retbleed stuffing is selected. If
checks pass and ITS stuffing is selected, it will select stuffing for
Retbleed as well.
its_update_mitigation() runs after and will either select stuffing if
retbleed stuffing was enabled, or fall back to the default (aligned thunks)
if stuffing could not be enabled.
Enablement of CDT is done exclusively in retbleed_apply_mitigation().
its_apply_mitigation() is only used to enable aligned thunks.

Pull x86 ITS mitigation from Dave Hansen:
"Mitigate Indirect Target Selection (ITS) issue.
I'd describe this one as a good old CPU bug where the behavior is
_obviously_ wrong, but since it just results in bad predictions it
wasn't wrong enough to notice. Well, the researchers noticed and also
realized that thus bug undermined a bunch of existing indirect branch
mitigations.
Thus the unusually wide impact on this one. Details:
ITS is a bug in some Intel CPUs that affects indirect branches
including RETs in the first half of a cacheline. Due to ITS such
branches may get wrongly predicted to a target of (direct or indirect)
branch that is located in the second half of a cacheline. Researchers
at VUSec found this behavior and reported to Intel.
Affected processors:
- Cascade Lake, Cooper Lake, Whiskey Lake V, Coffee Lake R, Comet
Lake, Ice Lake, Tiger Lake and Rocket Lake.
Scope of impact:
- Guest/host isolation:
When eIBRS is used for guest/host isolation, the indirect branches
in the VMM may still be predicted with targets corresponding to
direct branches in the guest.
- Intra-mode using cBPF:
cBPF can be used to poison the branch history to exploit ITS.
Realigning the indirect branches and RETs mitigates this attack
vector.
- User/kernel:
With eIBRS enabled user/kernel isolation is *not* impacted by ITS.
- Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier (IBPB):
Due to this bug indirect branches may be predicted with targets
corresponding to direct branches which were executed prior to IBPB.
This will be fixed in the microcode.
Mitigation:
As indirect branches in the first half of cacheline are affected, the
mitigation is to replace those indirect branches with a call to thunk that
is aligned to the second half of the cacheline.
RETs that take prediction from RSB are not affected, but they may be
affected by RSB-underflow condition. So, RETs in the first half of
cacheline are also patched to a return thunk that executes the RET aligned
to second half of cacheline"

Indirect Target Selection (ITS) is a bug in some pre-ADL Intel CPUs with
eIBRS. It affects prediction of indirect branch and RETs in the
lower half of cacheline. Due to ITS such branches may get wrongly predicted
to a target of (direct or indirect) branch that is located in the upper
half of the cacheline.
Scope of impact
===============
Guest/host isolation
--------------------
When eIBRS is used for guest/host isolation, the indirect branches in the
VMM may still be predicted with targets corresponding to branches in the
guest.
Intra-mode
----------
cBPF or other native gadgets can be used for intra-mode training and
disclosure using ITS.
User/kernel isolation
---------------------
When eIBRS is enabled user/kernel isolation is not impacted.
Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier (IBPB)
-----------------------------------------
After an IBPB, indirect branches may be predicted with targets
corresponding to direct branches which were executed prior to IBPB. This is
mitigated by a microcode update.
Add cmdline parameter indirect_target_selection=off|on|force to control the
mitigation to relocate the affected branches to an ITS-safe thunk i.e.
located in the upper half of cacheline. Also add the sysfs reporting.
When retpoline mitigation is deployed, ITS safe-thunks are not needed,
because retpoline sequence is already ITS-safe. Similarly, when call depth
tracking (CDT) mitigation is deployed (retbleed=stuff), ITS safe return
thunk is not used, as CDT prevents RSB-underflow.
To not overcomplicate things, ITS mitigation is not supported with
spectre-v2 lfence;jmp mitigation. Moreover, it is less practical to deploy
lfence;jmp mitigation on ITS affected parts anyways.

Do not set BHI_DIS_S in 32-bit mode so as to avoid reporting misleading
