    powerpc/64s: Support disabling RFI flush with no_rfi_flush and nopti · bc9c9304
    Michael Ellerman authored
    Because there may be some performance overhead of the RFI flush, add
    kernel command line options to disable it.
    
    We add a sensibly named 'no_rfi_flush' option, but we also hijack the
    x86 option 'nopti'. The RFI flush is not the same as KPTI, but if we
    see 'nopti' we can guess that the user is trying to avoid any overhead
    of Meltdown mitigations, and it means we don't have to educate every
    one about a different command line option.
