[PATCH 3.16 43/63] x86/speculation: Clean up various Spectre related details

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Fri Sep 21 2018 - 20:23:21 EST


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

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

From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 21e433bdb95bdf3aa48226fd3d33af608437f293 upstream.

Harmonize all the Spectre messages so that a:

dmesg | grep -i spectre

... gives us most Spectre related kernel boot messages.

Also fix a few other details:

- clarify a comment about firmware speculation control

- s/KPTI/PTI

- remove various line-breaks that made the code uglier
