4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx> commit ea156d192f5257a5bf393d33910d3b481bf8a401 upstream Three changes to the content of the sysfs file: - If EPT is disabled, L1TF cannot be exploited even across threads on the same core, and SMT is irrelevant. - If mitigation is completely disabled, and SMT is enabled, print "vulnerable" instead of "vulnerable, SMT vulnerable" - Reorder the two parts so that the main vulnerability state comes first and the detail on SMT is second.
