Subject: powerpc/64s: Enhance the information in cpu_show_meltdown()
To: gre...@linuxfoundation.org
Cc: sta...@vger.kernel.org, linuxppc-...@ozlabs.org
Message-ID: <20180602110908.29773-15-...@ellerman.id.au>
From: Michael Ellerman <m...@ellerman.id.au>
commit ff348355e9c72493947be337bb4fae4fc1a41eba upstream.
Now that we have the security feature flags we can make the
information displayed in the "meltdown" file more informative.
