Merge tag 'x86_urgent_for_v6.3_rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 fix from Borislav Petkov: "A single erratum fix for AMD machines: - Disable XSAVES on AMD Zen1 and Zen2 machines due to an erratum. No impact to anything as those machines will fallback to XSAVEC which is equivalent there" * tag 'x86_urgent_for_v6.3_rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/CPU/AMD: Disable XSAVES on AMD family 0x17
