    Pull seccomp updates from Kees Cook:
     "These are x86-specific, but I carried these since they're also
      seccomp-specific.
    
      This flips the defaults for spec_store_bypass_disable and
      spectre_v2_user from "seccomp" to "prctl", as enough time has passed
      to allow system owners to have updated the defensive stances of their
      various workloads, and it's long overdue to unpessimize seccomp
      threads.
    
      Extensive rationale and details are in Andrea's main patch.
    
      Summary:
    
       - set spec_store_bypass_disable & spectre_v2_user to prctl (Andrea Arcangeli)"
    
    * tag 'seccomp-v5.16-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux:
      x86: deduplicate the spectre_v2_user documentation
      x86: change default to spec_store_bypass_disable=prctl spectre_v2_user=prctl
