Pull x86 CPU mitigation updates from Borislav Petkov:

 - Untangle the Retbleed from the ITS mitigation on Intel. Allow for ITS
   to enable stuffing independently from Retbleed, do some cleanups to
   simplify and streamline the code

 - Simplify SRSO and make mitigation types selection more versatile
   depending on the Retbleed mitigation selection. Simplify code some

 - Add the second part of the attack vector controls which provide a lot
   friendlier user interface to the speculation mitigations than
   selecting each one by one as it is now.

   Instead, the selection of whole attack vectors which are relevant to
   the system in use can be done and protection against only those
   vectors is enabled, thus giving back some performance to the users

+Attack Vector Controls
+======================
+
+Attack vector controls provide a simple method to configure only the mitigations
+for CPU vulnerabilities which are relevant given the intended use of a system.
+Administrators are encouraged to consider which attack vectors are relevant and
+disable all others in order to recoup system performance.
+
+When new relevant CPU vulnerabilities are found, they will be added to these
+attack vector controls so administrators will likely not need to reconfigure
+their command line parameters as mitigations will continue to be correctly
+applied based on the chosen attack vector controls.
+
+Attack Vectors
+--------------
+
+There are 5 sets of attack-vector mitigations currently supported by the kernel:
+
+#. :ref:`user_kernel`
+#. :ref:`user_user`
+#. :ref:`guest_host`
+#. :ref:`guest_guest`
+#. :ref:`smt`
+
+To control the enabled attack vectors, see :ref:`cmdline`.
+
+.. _user_kernel:
+
+User-to-Kernel
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The user-to-kernel attack vector involves a malicious userspace program
+attempting to leak kernel data into userspace by exploiting a CPU vulnerability.
+The kernel data involved might be limited to certain kernel memory, or include
+all memory in the system, depending on the vulnerability exploited.
+
+If no untrusted userspace applications are being run, such as with single-user
+systems, consider disabling user-to-kernel mitigations.
+
+Note that the CPU vulnerabilities mitigated by Linux have generally not been
+shown to be exploitable from browser-based sandboxes.  User-to-kernel
+mitigations are therefore mostly relevant if unknown userspace applications may
+be run by untrusted users.
+
+*user-to-kernel mitigations are enabled by default*
+
+.. _user_user:
+
+User-to-User
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The user-to-user attack vector involves a malicious userspace program attempting
+to influence the behavior of another unsuspecting userspace program in order to
+exfiltrate data.  The vulnerability of a userspace program is based on the
+program itself and the interfaces it provides.
+
+If no untrusted userspace applications are being run, consider disabling
+user-to-user mitigations.
+
+Note that because the Linux kernel contains a mapping of all physical memory,
+preventing a malicious userspace program from leaking data from another
+userspace program requires mitigating user-to-kernel attacks as well for
+complete protection.
+
+*user-to-user mitigations are enabled by default*
+
+.. _guest_host:
+
+Guest-to-Host
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The guest-to-host attack vector involves a malicious VM attempting to leak
+hypervisor data into the VM.  The data involved may be limited, or may
+potentially include all memory in the system, depending on the vulnerability
+exploited.
+
+If no untrusted VMs are being run, consider disabling guest-to-host mitigations.
+
+*guest-to-host mitigations are enabled by default if KVM support is present*
+
+.. _guest_guest:
+
+Guest-to-Guest
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The guest-to-guest attack vector involves a malicious VM attempting to influence
+the behavior of another unsuspecting VM in order to exfiltrate data.  The
+vulnerability of a VM is based on the code inside the VM itself and the
+interfaces it provides.
+
+If no untrusted VMs, or only a single VM is being run, consider disabling
+guest-to-guest mitigations.
+
+Similar to the user-to-user attack vector, preventing a malicious VM from
+leaking data from another VM requires mitigating guest-to-host attacks as well
+due to the Linux kernel phys map.
+
+*guest-to-guest mitigations are enabled by default if KVM support is present*
+
+.. _smt:
+
+Cross-Thread
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The cross-thread attack vector involves a malicious userspace program or
+malicious VM either observing or attempting to influence the behavior of code
+running on the SMT sibling thread in order to exfiltrate data.
+
+Many cross-thread attacks can only be mitigated if SMT is disabled, which will
+result in reduced CPU core count and reduced performance.
+
+If cross-thread mitigations are fully enabled ('auto,nosmt'), all mitigations
+for cross-thread attacks will be enabled.  SMT may be disabled depending on
+which vulnerabilities are present in the CPU.
+
+If cross-thread mitigations are partially enabled ('auto'), mitigations for
+cross-thread attacks will be enabled but SMT will not be disabled.
+
+If cross-thread mitigations are disabled, no mitigations for cross-thread
+attacks will be enabled.
+
+Cross-thread mitigation may not be required if core-scheduling or similar
+techniques are used to prevent untrusted workloads from running on SMT siblings.
+
+*cross-thread mitigations default to partially enabled*
+
+.. _cmdline:
+
+Command Line Controls
+---------------------
+
+Attack vectors are controlled through the mitigations= command line option.  The
+value provided begins with a global option and then may optionally include one
+or more options to disable various attack vectors.
+
+Format:
+	| ``mitigations=[global]``
+	| ``mitigations=[global],[attack vectors]``
+
+Global options:
+
+============ =============================================================
+Option       Description
+============ =============================================================
+'off'        All attack vectors disabled.
+'auto'       All attack vectors enabled, partial cross-thread mitigations.
+'auto,nosmt' All attack vectors enabled, full cross-thread mitigations.
+============ =============================================================
+
+Attack vector options:
+
+================= =======================================
+Option            Description
+================= =======================================
+'no_user_kernel'  Disables user-to-kernel mitigations.
+'no_user_user'    Disables user-to-user mitigations.
+'no_guest_host'   Disables guest-to-host mitigations.
+'no_guest_guest'  Disables guest-to-guest mitigations
+'no_cross_thread' Disables all cross-thread mitigations.
+================= =======================================
+
+Multiple attack vector options may be specified in a comma-separated list.  If
+the global option is not specified, it defaults to 'auto'.  The global option
+'off' is equivalent to disabling all attack vectors.
+
+Examples:
+	| ``mitigations=auto,no_user_kernel``
+
+	Enable all attack vectors except user-to-kernel.  Partial cross-thread
+	mitigations.
+
+	| ``mitigations=auto,nosmt,no_guest_host,no_guest_guest``
+
+	Enable all attack vectors and cross-thread mitigations except for
+	guest-to-host and guest-to-guest mitigations.
+
+	| ``mitigations=,no_cross_thread``
+
+	Enable all attack vectors but not cross-thread mitigations.
+
+Interactions with command-line options
+--------------------------------------
+
+Vulnerability-specific controls (e.g. "retbleed=off") take precedence over all
+attack vector controls.  Mitigations for individual vulnerabilities may be
+turned on or off via their command-line options regardless of the attack vector
+controls.
+
+Summary of attack-vector mitigations
+------------------------------------
+
+When a vulnerability is mitigated due to an attack-vector control, the default
+mitigation option for that particular vulnerability is used.  To use a different
+mitigation, please use the vulnerability-specific command line option.
+
+The table below summarizes which vulnerabilities are mitigated when different
+attack vectors are enabled and assuming the CPU is vulnerable.

+   2 --  Disables SMT if cross-thread mitigations are fully enabled  and the CPU
+   is vulnerable

+
+   4 --  Speculative store bypass is always enabled by default (no kernel
