Merge tag 'x86_bugs_for_v6.17_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 CPU mitigation updates from Borislav Petkov: - Untangle the Retbleed from the ITS mitigation on Intel. Allow for ITS to enable stuffing independently from Retbleed, do some cleanups to simplify and streamline the code - Simplify SRSO and make mitigation types selection more versatile depending on the Retbleed mitigation selection. Simplify code some - Add the second part of the attack vector controls which provide a lot friendlier user interface to the speculation mitigations than selecting each one by one as it is now. Instead, the selection of whole attack vectors which are relevant to the system in use can be done and protection against only those vectors is enabled, thus giving back some performance to the users * tag 'x86_bugs_for_v6.17_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (31 commits) x86/bugs: Print enabled attack vectors x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for TSA x86/pti: Add attack vector controls for PTI x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for ITS x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for SRSO x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for L1TF x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for spectre_v2 x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for BHI x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for spectre_v2_user x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for retbleed x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for spectre_v1 x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for GDS x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for SRBDS x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for RFDS x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for MMIO x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for TAA x86/bugs: Add attack vector controls for MDS x86/bugs: Define attack vectors relevant for each bug x86/Kconfig: Add arch attack vector support cpu: Define attack vectors ...
