From 87590ce6e373d1a5401f6539f0c59ef92dd924a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Sun, 7 Jan 2018 22:48:00 +0100 Subject: sysfs/cpu: Add vulnerability folder As the meltdown/spectre problem affects several CPU architectures, it makes sense to have common way to express whether a system is affected by a particular vulnerability or not. If affected the way to express the mitigation should be common as well. Create /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities folder and files for meltdown, spectre_v1 and spectre_v2. Allow architectures to override the show function.
