    UBUNTU: SAUCE: remove ibrs_dump sysctl interface · 6004311e
    Kamal Mostafa authored Apr 04, 2018
    BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1755627
    
    The ibrs_dump sysctl interface landed in the Ubuntu backport
    df043b74 ("x86/spec_ctrl: Add sysctl knobs to enable/disable
    SPEC_CTRL feature") but nothing like it reached mainline.
    
    This debug interface spams dmesg with many lines of output each time
    /proc/sys/kernel/ibrs_dump is accessed (notably, every run of 'sysctl -a')
    The interface returns only a dummy sysctl value; it has no other purpose
    aside from generating dmesg output.
    
    Remove the interface to squelch the excessive dmesg logging by 'sysctl -a'.
    
    Fixes: df043b74
    
     ("x86/spec_ctrl: Add sysctl knobs to enable/disable SPEC_CTRL feature")
