[PATCH 3/3] x86/bugs: spectre_v2_user default mode depends on main default
From: Breno Leitao
Date: Thu Jan 18 2024 - 12:33:15 EST
Change the default value of spectre v2 in user mode to respect the
CONFIG_MITIGATION_SPECTRE_V2 config option.
Currently, user mode spectre v2 is set to auto
(SPECTRE_V2_USER_CMD_AUTO) by default, even if
CONFIG_MITIGATION_SPECTRE_V2 is disabled.
Set the Spectre_v2 value to auto (SPECTRE_V2_USER_CMD_AUTO) if the
Spectre v2 config (CONFIG_MITIGATION_SPECTRE_V2) is enabled, otherwise
set the value to none (SPECTRE_V2_USER_CMD_NONE).
Important to say the command line argument "spectre_v2_user" overwrites
the default value in both cases.
