commit 58c9a5060cb7cd529d49c93954cdafe81c1d642a upstream. The mitigations for Spectre-BHB are only applied when an exception is taken from user-space. The mitigation status is reported via the spectre_v2 sysfs vulnerabilities file. When unprivileged eBPF is enabled the mitigation in the exception vectors can be avoided by an eBPF program. When unprivileged eBPF is enabled, print a warning and report vulnerable via the sysfs vulnerabilities file.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
