[PATCH RFC 3/5] powerpc/speculation: Add support for 'cpu_spec_mitigations=' cmdline options

Fri Apr 5 03:44:13 AEDT 2019


Configure powerpc CPU runtime speculation bug mitigations in accordance
with the 'cpu_spec_mitigations=' cmdline options.  This affects
Meltdown, Spectre v1, Spectre v2, and Speculative Store Bypass.

The default behavior is unchanged.
