Copy and paste. The enum type is wrong.

Ditto

Please use reverse fir tree ordering of the variables:

	enum spectre_v2_mitigation_cmd cmd = SPECTRE_V2_APP2APP_CMD_AUTO;
	char arg[20];
	int ret, i;

Line break around 78 please

Please avoid these overlong lines. Move the initialization to the code if
it does not fit into the declaration part.

Line breaks exist for a reason. Applies to comments and code.

Why do you need to copy the whole thing? What's wrong with using
spectre_v2_app2app_enabled for getting the proper string for the IBPB
mitigation?

Needs to be updated to the latest code in tip x86/pti

Neither of the branches needs braces for the return
