Merge branch 'core/speculation' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip into for-next/mitigations

Pull in core support for the "mitigations=" cmdline option from Thomas
Gleixner via -tip, which we can build on top of when we expose our
mitigation state via sysfs.

+				Disable all optional CPU mitigations.  This
+				improves system performance, but it may also
+				expose users to several CPU vulnerabilities.

+			auto (default)
+				Mitigate all CPU vulnerabilities, but leave SMT
+				enabled, even if it's vulnerable.  This is for
+				users who don't want to be surprised by SMT
+				getting disabled across kernel upgrades, or who
+				have other ways of avoiding SMT-based attacks.

+
+			auto,nosmt
+				Mitigate all CPU vulnerabilities, disabling SMT
+				if needed.  This is for users who always want to
+				be fully mitigated, even if it means losing SMT.
