Currently, there exists a system-wide setting related to CPU security mitigations, denoted as 'mitigations='. When set to 'mitigations=off', it deactivates all optional CPU mitigations. Therefore, if we implement a system-wide 'mitigations=off' setting, it should inherently bypass Spectre v1 and Spectre v4 in the BPF subsystem. Please note that there is also a more specific 'nospectre_v1' setting on x86 and ppc architectures, though it is not currently exported. For the time being, let's disregard more fine-grained options. This idea emerged during our discussion about potential Spectre v1 attacks with Luis [0].

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
