[patch V2 26/28] x86/speculation: Enable prctl mode for spectre_v2_user

[Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>]

[-- Attachment #1: x86-speculation-Enable-PRCTL-mode-for-spectre-v2-app2app.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4813 bytes --]

Now that all prerequisites are in place:

 - Add the prctl command line option

 - Default the 'auto' mode to 'prctl'

 - When SMT state changes, update the static key which controls the
   conditional STIBP evaluation on context switch.

 - At init update the static key which controls the conditional IBPB
   evaluation on context switch.

V1 -> V2: Fix comments
      	  s/app2app/user/
	  Make the IBPB printout depend on the static keys as it can be
	  independent of the mode, e.g. when SMT is not supported.
	  Remove the CONFIG_SMP conditional
