From: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> Subject: x86/spec-ctrl: Rename VERW related options VERW is going to be used for a 3rd purpose, and the existing nomenclature didn't survive the Stale MMIO issues terribly well. Rename the command line option from `md-clear=` to `verw=`. This is more consistent with other options which tend to be named based on what they're doing, not which feature enumeration they use behind the scenes. Retain `md-clear=` as a deprecated alias. Rename opt_md_clear_{pv,hvm} and opt_fb_clear_mmio to opt_verw_{pv,hvm,mmio}, which has a side effect of making spec_ctrl_init_domain() rather clearer to follow. No functional change. This is part of XSA-452 / CVE-2023-28746.
