sysfs/cpu: Add vulnerability folder
As the meltdown/spectre problem affects several CPU architectures, it makes sense to have common way to express whether a system is affected by a particular vulnerability or not. If affected the way to express the mitigation should be common as well. Create /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities folder and files for meltdown, spectre_v1 and spectre_v2. Allow architectures to override the show function.

Description: Information about CPU vulnerabilities
|
||||
|
||||
The files are named after the code names of CPU
|
||||
vulnerabilities. The output of those files reflects the
|
||||
state of the CPUs in the system. Possible output values:
|
||||
|
||||
"Not affected" CPU is not affected by the vulnerability
|
||||
"Vulnerable" CPU is affected and no mitigation in effect
|
||||
"Mitigation: $M" CPU is affetcted and mitigation $M is in effect
