Subject: [PATCH 4/5] x86/pti: warn for unknown pti boot options
Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2018 12:03:39 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1531713820-24544-5-git-send-email-jiang.biao2@zte.com.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1531713820-24544-1-git-send-email-jiang.biao2@zte.com.cn>

When using unknown pti boot options other than on/off/auto, we
select auto silently, which is sometimes confusing. Add warning for
unknown pti boot options like we do in
spectre_v2_select_mitigation().
