[ Upstream commit6a3d1e81a4] 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.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
