If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From e9fbc47b818b964ddff5df5b2d5c0f5f32f4a147 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Borislav Petkov (AMD)" <bp@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 13 Aug 2023 12:39:34 +0200 Subject: x86/srso: Disable the mitigation on unaffected configurations From: Borislav Petkov (AMD) <bp@xxxxxxxxx> commit e9fbc47b818b964ddff5df5b2d5c0f5f32f4a147 upstream. Skip the srso cmd line parsing which is not needed on Zen1/2 with SMT disabled and with the proper microcode applied (latter should be the case anyway) as those are not affected.
