Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: Only set IBPB when the new thread cannot ptrace
 current thread
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

CVE-2017-5753
CVE-2017-5715

To reduce overhead of setting IBPB, we only do that when
the new thread cannot ptrace the current one.  If the new
thread has ptrace capability on current thread, it is safe.
