[ Upstream commit d1cc1baef67ac6c09b74629ca053bf3fb812f7dc ] The LFENCE retpoline mitigation is not secure but the kernel prints inconsistent messages about this fact. The dmesg log says 'Mitigation: LFENCE', implying the system is mitigated. But sysfs reports 'Vulnerable: LFENCE' implying the system (correctly) is not mitigated. Fix this by printing a consistent 'Vulnerable: LFENCE' string everywhere when this mitigation is selected.

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 reStructuredText 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.
