4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Thomas Gleixner tglx@linutronix.de
commit 5635d99953f04b550738f6f4c1c532667c3fd872 upstream
The TIF_SPEC_IB bit does not need to be evaluated in the decision to invoke __switch_to_xtra() when:
- CONFIG_SMP is disabled
- The conditional STIPB mode is disabled
The TIF_SPEC_IB bit still controls IBPB in both cases so the TIF work mask checks might invoke __switch_to_xtra() for nothing if TIF_SPEC_IB is the only set bit in the work masks.
Optimize it out by masking the bit at compile time for CONFIG_SMP=n and at run time when the static key controlling the conditional STIBP mode is disabled.
