[PATCH 3.16 222/366] x86/bugs: Switch the selection of mitigation from CPU vendor to CPU features

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



3.16.61-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 108fab4b5c8f12064ef86e02cb0459992affb30f upstream.

Both AMD and Intel can have SPEC_CTRL_MSR for SSBD.

However AMD also has two more other ways of doing it - which
are !SPEC_CTRL MSR ways.
