[PATCH v2 0/2] x86/speculation: Fix incorrect MDS/TAA mitigation status

From: Waiman Long
Date: Fri Nov 15 2019 - 11:16:27 EST


v2:
- Update the documentation files accordingly
- Add an optional second patch to defer printing of MDS mitigation.

As MDS and TAA mitigations can be inter-related, setting command
line option for one without a matching other may cause one of their
vulnerabilities files to report their status incorrectly. This patch
makes sure that both vulnerabilities files will report consistent
status correctly.
