[patch 15/24] x86/speculation: Add command line control for indirect branch speculation
From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Wed Nov 21 2018 - 15:19:25 EST
Add command line control for application to application indirect branch
speculation mitigations.
The initial options are:
- on: Unconditionally enabled
- off: Unconditionally disabled
-auto: Kernel selects mitigation (default off for now)
When the spectre_v2= command line argument is either 'on' or 'off' this
implies that the application to application control follows that state even
if when a contradicting spectre_v2_app2app= argument is supplied.
