CONFIG_CPU_MITIGATIONS: Mitigations for CPU vulnerabilities

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_CPU_MITIGATIONS has multiple definitions:

Mitigations for CPU vulnerabilities found in arch/x86/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_CPU_MITIGATIONS:

• prompt: Mitigations for CPU vulnerabilities
• type: bool
• depends on: (none)
• defined in arch/x86/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 6.9–6.12, 6.13-rc+HEAD

Help text

Say Y here to enable options which enable mitigations for hardware vulnerabilities (usually related to speculative execution). Mitigations can be disabled or restricted to SMT systems at runtime via the "mitigations" kernel parameter.

If you say N, all mitigations will be disabled. This CANNOT be overridden at runtime.

Say 'Y', unless you really know what you are doing.
