  11 [ Upstream commit 877ace9eab7de032f954533afd5d1ecd0cf62eaf ]
  12
  13 In our environment, it was found that the mitigation BHB has a great
  14 impact on the benchmark performance. For example, in the lmbench test,
  15 the "process fork && exit" test performance drops by 20%.
  16 So it is necessary to have the ability to turn off the mitigation
  17 individually through cmdline, thus avoiding having to compile the
  18 kernel by adjusting the config.
