Subject: [PATCH 3.16 022/131] seccomp: Add filter flag to opt-out of SSB
 mitigation

3.16.59-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org>

commit 00a02d0c502a06d15e07b857f8ff921e3e402675 upstream.

If a seccomp user is not interested in Speculative Store Bypass mitigation
by default, it can set the new SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_SPEC_ALLOW flag when
adding filters.

Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org>
Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>
[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
 - We don't support SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_TSYNC or SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_LOG
 - Drop selftest changes]
