Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] x86/bugs: Use early_param for spectre_v2
Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2025 14:21:57 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250819192200.2003074-3-david.kaplan@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250819192200.2003074-1-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.
Remove spec_v2_print_cond() as informing the user of the their cmdline
choice isn't interesting.
