Subject: [PATCH 2/3] x86/bugs: Use early_param for spectre_v2
Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2025 09:26:58 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250811142659.152248-3-david.kaplan@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250811142659.152248-1-david.kaplan@amd.com>
Most of the mitigations in bugs.c use early_param for command line parsing.
Rework the spectre_v2 and nospectre_v2 command line options to be
consistent with the others.
