AMD's initial implementation of IBPB did not clear the return address predictor. Beginning with Zen4, AMD's IBPB *does* clear the return address predictor. This behavior is enumerated by CPUID.80000008H:EBX.IBPB_RET[30]. Define X86_FEATURE_AMD_IBPB_RET for use in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID, when determining cross-vendor capabilities.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
