Subject: [PATCH v8 05/10] x86/vmscape: Move mitigation selection to a switch()
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 11:17:41 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324-vmscape-bhb-v8-5-68bb524b3ab9@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260324-vmscape-bhb-v8-0-68bb524b3ab9@linux.intel.com>
This ensures that all mitigation modes are explicitly handled, while
keeping the mitigation selection for each mode together. This also prepares
for adding BHB-clearing mitigation mode for VMSCAPE.
