From 55a974021ec952ee460dc31ca08722158639de72 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Sun, 25 Nov 2018 19:33:56 +0100 Subject: x86/speculation: Provide IBPB always command line options Provide the possibility to enable IBPB always in combination with 'prctl' and 'seccomp'. Add the extra command line options and rework the IBPB selection to evaluate the command instead of the mode selected by the STIPB switch case.
