From edfbae53dab8348fca778531be9f4855d2ca0360 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Williams Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2018 17:03:21 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86/spectre: Report get_user mitigation for spectre_v1 Reflect the presence of get_user(), __get_user(), and 'syscall' protections in sysfs. The expectation is that new and better tooling will allow the kernel to grow more usages of array_index_nospec(), for now, only claim mitigation for __user pointer de-references.
