From 6a3d1e81a434fc311f224b8be77258bafc18ccc6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Schwidefsky Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2018 08:35:23 +0200 Subject: s390: correct nospec auto detection init order With CONFIG_EXPOLINE_AUTO=y the call of spectre_v2_auto_early() via early_initcall is done *after* the early_param functions. This overwrites any settings done with the nobp/no_spectre_v2/spectre_v2 parameters. The code patching for the kernel is done after the evaluation of the early parameters but before the early_initcall is done. The end result is a kernel image that is patched correctly but the kernel modules are not. Make sure that the nospec auto detection function is called before the early parameters are evaluated and before the code patching is done.
