[PATCH 0/3] x86/bugs: Some SRSO fixes

[Borislav Petkov]

From: "Borislav Petkov (AMD)" <bp@alien8.de>

Hi all,

those are the leftover smaller fixes which can go after the release
date. I'll queue them next week.

Thx.

[PATCH 1/3] Documentation/hw-vuln: Unify filename specification in index

[Borislav Petkov]

From: "Borislav Petkov (AMD)" <bp@alien8.de>

Most of the index.rst files in Documentation/ refer to other rst files
without their file extension in the name. Do that here too.

No functional changes.

[PATCH 2/3] driver core: cpu: Unify redundant silly stubs

[Borislav Petkov]

From: "Borislav Petkov (AMD)" <bp@alien8.de>

Make them all a weak function, aliasing to a single function which
issues the "Not affected" string.

No functional changes.

[PATCH 3/3] Documentation/srso: Document IBPB aspect and fix formatting

[Borislav Petkov]

From: "Borislav Petkov (AMD)" <bp@alien8.de>

Add a note about the dependency of the User->User mitigation on the
previous Spectre v2 IBPB selection.

Make the layout moar pretty.

Documentation/srso: Document IBPB aspect and fix formatting

Add a note about the dependency of the User->User mitigation on the
previous Spectre v2 IBPB selection.

Make the layout moar pretty.

Make them all a weak function, aliasing to a single function which
issues the "Not affected" string.

No functional changes.
