Pull x86 cache flush updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A reworked version of the opt-in L1D flush mechanism.
This is a stop gap for potential future speculation related hardware
vulnerabilities and a mechanism for truly security paranoid
applications.
It allows a task to request that the L1D cache is flushed when the
kernel switches to a different mm. This can be requested via prctl().
Changes vs the previous versions:
- Get rid of the software flush fallback
- Make the handling consistent with other mitigations
- Kill the task when it ends up on a SMT enabled core which defeats
the purpose of L1D flushing obviously"
