[PATCH 4/5] x86/pti: warn for unknown pti boot options

From: Jiang Biao
Date: Mon Jul 16 2018 - 00:22:28 EST


When using unknown pti boot options other than on/off/auto, we
select auto silently, which is sometimes confusing. Add warning for
unknown pti boot options like we do in
spectre_v2_select_mitigation().
