Subject: [PATCH v2 3/5] x86/bugs: Simplify SSB cmdline parsing
Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2025 14:21:58 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250819192200.2003074-4-david.kaplan@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250819192200.2003074-1-david.kaplan@amd.com>
Simplify the SSB command line parsing by selecting a mitigation directly,
as is done in most of the simpler vulnerabilities. Use early_param instead
of cmdline_find_option for consistency with the other mitigation
selections.
