[PATCH 3.16 024/131] x86/speculation: Make "seccomp" the default mode for Speculative Store Bypass

[Ben Hutchings]

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

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

From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit f21b53b20c754021935ea43364dbf53778eeba32 upstream.

Unless explicitly opted out of, anything running under seccomp will have
SSB mitigations enabled. Choosing the "prctl" mode will disable this.

[ tglx: Adjusted it to the new arch_seccomp_spec_mitigate() mechanism ]
