Unless explicitly opted out of, anything running under seccomp will have
SSB mitigations enabled. Choosing the "prctl" mode will disable this.

[ tglx: Adjusted it to the new arch_seccomp_spec_mitigate() mechanism ]

                        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.

+                       seccomp - Same as "prctl" above, but all seccomp threads
+                                 will disable SSB unless they explicitly opt out.
 
                        Not specifying this option is equivalent to
