[PATCH 2/2] x86: move gds_ucode_mitigated() declaration to header

[PATCH 2/2] x86: move gds_ucode_mitigated() declaration to header

[Arnd Bergmann]

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

The declaration got placed in the .c file of the caller, but that
causes a warning for the definition:

arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c:682:6: error: no previous prototype for 'gds_ucode_mitigated' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]

Move it to a header where both sides can observe it instead.

Fixes: 81ac7e5d74174 ("KVM: Add GDS_NO support to KVM")

When I build with gcc 9.4 and the x86_64_defconfig I don't see this warning even
without this patch. I'm curious why you're seeing it and I'm not. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dan

The warning is currently disabled by default, unless you build with
'make W=1'. I'm in the process of getting my last patches out to
change this so the warning is enabled by default though, so I was
phrasing this based on the future behavior. Sorry if this was confusing.

That explains why I wasn't seeing it.

To be clear, that applies to both patches in the series.
