feat: hide CVE checks that arebirrelevant for current arch

built from commit 7329c1fd2f
 dated 2026-04-21 08:53:08 +0200
 by Stéphane Lesimple (speed47_github@speed47.net)

 CVE_REGISTRY gains an optional fifth field that tags checks as x86-only or
arm-only, untagged entries apply everywhere. The main CVE dispatcher and the
affectedness summary both skip gated entries in default "all CVEs" runs,
removing the noise of arm64 errata on x86 hosts and of x86 CVEs on ARM hosts
across text, json, nrpe and prometheus outputs. Explicit --cve/--variant/--errata
selection bypasses the gate so manual queries still run anywhere.
The gate honours no-hw mode by ignoring the host CPU and keying off the
inspected kernel's architecture only, which handles cross-arch offline
analysis driven by --kernel/--config/--map.

 Exploits a synchronization failure in the AMD stack engine via an undocumented MSR bit, targeting AMD SEV-SNP confidential VMs. Requires hypervisor-level (ring 0) access.

+## No CVE — Jump Conditional Code (JCC) Erratum
+
+- **Issue:** [#329](https://github.com/speed47/spectre-meltdown-checker/issues/329)
+- **Intel whitepaper:** [Mitigations for Jump Conditional Code Erratum](https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/processors/mitigations-jump-conditional-code-erratum.pdf)
+- **Affected CPUs:** Intel 6th through 10th generation Core and Xeon processors (Skylake through Cascade Lake)
+
+A microarchitectural correctness erratum where a conditional jump instruction that straddles or ends at a 64-byte instruction fetch boundary can corrupt the branch predictor state, potentially causing incorrect execution. Intel addressed this in a November 2019 microcode update. Compilers and assemblers (GCC, LLVM, binutils) also introduced alignment options (`-mbranch-alignment`, `-x86-branches-within-32B-boundaries`) to pad jump instructions away from boundary conditions, preserving performance on CPUs with updated microcode.
+
+**Why out of scope:** The JCC erratum is a microarchitectural correctness bug, not a transient or speculative execution side-channel vulnerability. No CVE was ever assigned. Red Hat noted that privilege escalation "has not been ruled out" but made no definitive security finding, and no exploit has been demonstrated. There is no Linux sysfs entry, no CPUID bit, and no MSR flag exposing the mitigation status. The microcode fix introduces no detectable hardware indicator, so checking for it would require maintaining a per-CPU-stepping minimum microcode version table (the design principle 3 exception) — costly to maintain without a CVE anchor or confirmed exploitability to justify the ongoing work. The kernel compiler mitigation is a build-time-only change (instruction alignment) with no observable runtime state.
