This parameter controls the MDS mitigation. The
options are:
- full - Enable MDS mitigation on vulnerable CPUs
- off - Unconditionally disable MDS mitigation
+ full - Enable MDS mitigation on vulnerable CPUs
+ full,nosmt - Enable MDS mitigation and disable
+ SMT on vulnerable CPUs
+ off - Unconditionally disable MDS mitigation
Not specifying this option is equivalent to
mds=full.
