Subject[PATCH 5.18 38/61] x86/bugs: Do IBPB fallback check only once
Date
From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>

commit 0fe4aeea9c01baabecc8c3afc7889c809d939bc2 upstream.

When booting with retbleed=auto, if the kernel wasn't built with
CONFIG_CC_HAS_RETURN_THUNK, the mitigation falls back to IBPB. Make
sure a warning is printed in that case. The IBPB fallback check is done
twice, but it really only needs to be done once.
