Subject: [PATCH 3.16 80/86] x86/speculation: Support 'mitigations='
cmdline option
3.16.68-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@...hat.com>
commit d68be4c4d31295ff6ae34a8ddfaa4c1a8ff42812 upstream.
Configure x86 runtime CPU speculation bug mitigations in accordance with
the 'mitigations=' cmdline option. This affects Meltdown, Spectre v2,
Speculative Store Bypass, and L1TF.
The default behavior is unchanged.
