This parameter controls whether the Speculative Store
Bypass optimization is used.
- on - Unconditionally disable Speculative Store Bypass
- off - Unconditionally enable Speculative Store Bypass
- auto - Kernel detects whether the CPU model contains an
- implementation of Speculative Store Bypass and
- picks the most appropriate mitigation.
- prctl - Control Speculative Store Bypass per thread
- via prctl. Speculative Store Bypass is enabled
- for a process by default. The state of the control
- is inherited on fork.
+ on - Unconditionally disable Speculative Store Bypass
+ off - Unconditionally enable Speculative Store Bypass
+ auto - Kernel detects whether the CPU model contains an
+ implementation of Speculative Store Bypass and
+ picks the most appropriate mitigation. If the
+ CPU is not vulnerable, "off" is selected. If the
+ CPU is vulnerable the default mitigation is
+ architecture and Kconfig dependent. See below.
+ prctl - Control Speculative Store Bypass per thread
+ via prctl. Speculative Store Bypass is enabled
+ for a process by default. The state of the control
+ is inherited on fork.
+ seccomp - Same as "prctl" above, but all seccomp threads
+ will disable SSB unless they explicitly opt out.
Not specifying this option is equivalent to
spec_store_bypass_disable=auto.
+ Default mitigations:
+ X86: If CONFIG_SECCOMP=y "seccomp", otherwise "prctl"
