Subject: x86/bugs: Change commas to semicolons in 'spectre_v2' sysfs file
From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 0cd01ac5dcb1e18eb18df0f0d05b5de76522a437 upstream.
Change the format of the 'spectre_v2' vulnerabilities sysfs file
slightly by converting the commas to semicolons, so that mitigations for
future variants can be grouped together and separated by commas.
