x86/spectre: Report get_user mitigation for spectre_v1
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Reflect the presence of get_user(), __get_user(), and 'syscall' protections
in sysfs. The expectation is that new and better tooling will allow the
kernel to grow more usages of array_index_nospec(), for now, only claim
mitigation for __user pointer de-references.
