3.16.68-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Thomas Gleixner tglx@linutronix.de
commit 7cc765a67d8e04ef7d772425ca5a2a1e2b894c15 upstream.
Now that all prerequisites are in place:
- Add the prctl command line option
- Default the 'auto' mode to 'prctl'
- When SMT state changes, update the static key which controls the conditional STIBP evaluation on context switch.
- At init update the static key which controls the conditional IBPB evaluation on context switch.
