Intel SKL CPUs fall back to other predictors when the RSB underflows. The only microcode mitigation is IBRS which is insanely expensive. It comes with performance drops of up to 30% depending on the workload. A way less expensive, but nevertheless horrible mitigation is to track the call depth in software and overeagerly fill the RSB when returns underflow the software counter. Provide a configuration symbol and a CPU misfeature bit.

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 Restructured Text 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.
