[PATCH v4 5/7] x86/pti: Do not enable PTI on processors which are not vulnerable to Meltdown

From: David Woodhouse
Date: Thu Jan 25 2018 - 04:24:23 EST


Also, for CPUs which don't speculate at all, don't report that they're vulnerable
to the Spectre variants either.

Leave the cpu_no_meltdown[] match table with just X86_VENDOR_AMD in it for now,
even though that could be done with a simple comparison, on the assumption that
we'll have more to add.

Based on suggestions from Dave Hansen and Alan Cox.
