[PATCH 4.9 52/92] x86/spectre: Check CONFIG_RETPOLINE in command line parser

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

 



4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Dou Liyang <douly.fnst@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

(cherry picked from commit 9471eee9186a46893726e22ebb54cade3f9bc043)

The spectre_v2 option 'auto' does not check whether CONFIG_RETPOLINE is
enabled. As a consequence it fails to emit the appropriate warning and sets
feature flags which have no effect at all.

Add the missing IS_ENABLED() check.

Fixes: da285121560e ("x86/spectre: Add boot time option to select Spectre v2 mitigation")
