x86/speculation: Enable prctl mode for spectre_v2_user
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Now that all prerequisites are in place:

 - Add the prctl command line option

 - Default the 'auto' mode to 'prctl'

 - When SMT state changes, update the static key which controls the
   conditional STIBP evaluation on context switch.

 - At init update the static key which controls the conditional IBPB
   evaluation on context switch.

off - Unconditionally disable mitigations. Is
enforced by spectre_v2=off

prctl - Indirect branch speculation is enabled,
but mitigation can be enabled via prctl
per thread. The mitigation control state
is inherited on fork.

auto - Kernel selects the mitigation depending on
the available CPU features and vulnerability.
Default is off.
Default is prctl.

Not specifying this option is equivalent to
spectre_v2_user=auto.
