This patch adds CONFIG_HARDEN_SLS_ALL that can be used to turn on -mharden-sls=all, which mitigates the straight-line speculation vulnerability, speculative execution of the instruction following some unconditional jumps. Notice -mharden-sls= has other options as below, and this config turns on the strongest option. all: enable all mitigations against Straight Line Speculation that are implemented. none: disable all mitigations against Straight Line Speculation. retbr: enable the mitigation against Straight Line Speculation for RET and BR instructions. blr: enable the mitigation against Straight Line Speculation for BLR instructions.

My review still stands but in the future, if you significantly change how a patch is structured or works, please drop my tag and let me re-add it. One comment below.
