Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Slow Ranomizing Boosts DoS linux-4.9.y backport

This is a backport of the backports done by Thomas for linux-4.14.y to
linux-4.9.y.

The backport was pretty simple with no new dependencies needed.

this was tested by the test engineer who tested the other SRBDS implementations
and it seems to work.


Mark Gross (4):
  x86/cpu: Add a steppings field to struct x86_cpu_id
  x86/cpu: Add 'table' argument to cpu_matches()
  x86/speculation: Add Special Register Buffer Data Sampling (SRBDS)
    mitigation
  x86/speculation: Add SRBDS vulnerability and mitigation documentation
