[PATCH 4.4 215/266] x86/speculation: Add command line control for indirect branch speculation

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed May 15 2019 - 07:12:49 EST


From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit fa1202ef224391b6f5b26cdd44cc50495e8fab54 upstream.

Add command line control for user space indirect branch speculation
mitigations. The new option is: spectre_v2_user=

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 a contradicting spectre_v2_user= argument is supplied.
