+Subject: [PATCH 34/42] x86/spectre: Report get_user mitigation for spectre_v1
+
+(cherry picked from commit edfbae53dab8348fca778531be9f4855d2ca0360)
+
+Reflect the presence of get_user(), __get_user(), and 'syscall' protections
+in sysfs. The expectation is that new and better tooling will allow the
+kernel to grow more usages of array_index_nospec(), for now, only claim
+mitigation for __user pointer de-references.
