doc: add CVE-2020-0549 (L1D Eviction Sampling, CacheOut) as unsupported

AMD Zen 1-3 CPUs don't flush return predictions on IBPB, allowing
cross-process Spectre attacks even with IBPB-on-entry active. The kernel
fix (v6.12+, backported) adds RSB fill after IBPB on affected CPUs.
Detect this gap by checking CPUID IBPB_RET bit and kernel ibpb_no_ret
bug flag, and flag systems relying on IBPB without the RSB fill fix.

-  - `system` — kernel release/version/arch/cmdline, CPU count, SMT status, hypervisor host detection
-  - `cpu` — `arch` discriminator (`x86` or `arm`), vendor, friendly name, then an arch-specific sub-object (`cpu.x86` or `cpu.arm`) with identification fields (family/model/stepping/CPUID/codename for x86; part\_list/arch\_list for ARM) and a `capabilities` sub-object containing hardware flags as booleans/nulls
-  - `cpu_microcode` — `installed_version`, `latest_version`, `microcode_up_to_date`, `is_blacklisted`, firmware DB source/info
-  - `vulnerabilities` — array of per-CVE objects: `cve`, `name`, `aliases`, `cpu_affected`, `status`, `vulnerable`, `info`, `sysfs_status`, `sysfs_message`
-
-- **`--batch json-terse`** (legacy): A flat array of objects with four fields: `NAME`, `CVE`, `VULNERABLE` (bool/null), `INFOS`. This is the original format, preserved for backward compatibility.
-
-The comprehensive format is built in two phases: static sections (`meta`, `system`, `cpu`, `cpu_microcode`) are assembled after `check_cpu()` completes, and per-CVE entries are accumulated during the main CVE loop via `_emit_json_full()`. The sysfs data for each CVE is captured by `sys_interface_check()` into `g_json_cve_sysfs_status`/`g_json_cve_sysfs_msg` globals, which are read by the emitter and reset after each CVE to prevent cross-CVE leakage. CPU affection is determined via the already-cached `is_cpu_affected()`.
-
-When adding new `cap_*` variables (for a new CVE or updated hardware support), they must be added to `_build_json_cpu()` in `src/libs/250_output_emitters.sh`. Per-CVE data is handled automatically.

 **Exception**: When a vulnerability is fixed purely by a microcode update and the fix exposes **no** detectable CPUID bit, MSR bit, or ARCH\_CAP flag, then we must hardcode the known-fixing microcode versions for each affected CPU stepping. In this case, build a `<vuln>_ucode_list` table of `FF-MM-SS/platformid_mask,fixed_ucode_version` tuples (sourced from the Intel affected processor list and the Intel-Linux-Processor-Microcode-Data-Files release notes), match against `cpu_cpuid` + `cpu_platformid` in `is_cpu_affected()`, and store the required version in a `g_<vuln>_fixed_ucode_version` global. The CVE check then compares `cpu_ucode` against this threshold. Because Intel never lists EOL CPUs, the microcode list may be incomplete: keep a model blacklist as a fallback so that affected CPUs without a known fix are still flagged as affected (the CVE check should handle the empty `g_<vuln>_fixed_ucode_version` case by reporting VULN with "no microcode update available"). See Reptar (`g_reptar_fixed_ucode_version`) and BPI (`g_bpi_fixed_ucode_version`) for reference implementations.
 
-### 4. `/proc/cpuinfo` fallback for CPUID reads
-
-The primary way to read CPU capability bits is via `read_cpuid` (which uses `/dev/cpu/N/cpuid`). However, this device may be unavailable — most commonly inside virtual machines where the `cpuid` kernel module cannot be loaded. When `read_cpuid` returns `READ_CPUID_RET_ERR` (could not read at all), we can fall back to checking `/proc/cpuinfo` flags as a secondary source, **in live mode only**.
-
-This works because the kernel always has direct access to CPUID (it doesn't need `/dev/cpu`), and exposes the results as flags in `/proc/cpuinfo`. When a hypervisor virtualizes a CPUID bit for the guest, the guest kernel sees it and reports it in `/proc/cpuinfo`. This is the same information `read_cpuid` would return if the device were available.
-
-**Rules:**
-- This is strictly a fallback: `read_cpuid` via `/dev/cpu/N/cpuid` remains the primary method.
-- Only use it when `read_cpuid` returned `READ_CPUID_RET_ERR` (device unavailable), **never** when it returned `READ_CPUID_RET_KO` (device available but bit is 0 — meaning the CPU/hypervisor explicitly reports the feature as absent).
-- Only in live mode (`$g_mode = live`), since `/proc/cpuinfo` is not available in other modes.
-- Only for CPUID bits that the kernel exposes as `/proc/cpuinfo` flags. Not all bits have a corresponding flag — only those listed in the kernel's `capflags.c`. If a bit has no `/proc/cpuinfo` flag, no fallback is possible.
-- The fallback depends on the running kernel being recent enough to know about the CPUID bit in question. An older kernel won't expose a flag it doesn't know about, so the fallback will silently not trigger — which is fine (we just stay at UNKNOWN, same as the ERR case without fallback).
-
-**Known mappings** (CPUID bit → `/proc/cpuinfo` flag → script `cap_*` variable):
-
-| CPUID source | `/proc/cpuinfo` flag | `cap_*` variable |
-|---|---|---|
-| Intel 0x7.0.EDX[26] / AMD 0x80000008.EBX[14] | `ibrs` | `cap_ibrs` |

-| Intel 0x7.0.EDX[29] | `arch_capabilities` | `cap_arch_capabilities` |
-
-**Implementation pattern** in `check_cpu()`:
-
-```sh
-read_cpuid 0x7 0x0 $EDX 31 1 1
-ret=$?
-if [ $ret = $READ_CPUID_RET_OK ]; then
-    cap_ssbd='Intel SSBD'
-elif [ $ret = $READ_CPUID_RET_ERR ] && [ "$g_mode" = live ]; then
-    # CPUID device unavailable (e.g. in a VM): fall back to /proc/cpuinfo
-    if grep ^flags "$g_procfs/cpuinfo" | grep -qw ssbd; then
-        cap_ssbd='Intel SSBD (cpuinfo)'
-        ret=$READ_CPUID_RET_OK
-    fi
-fi
-```
-
-When the fallback sets a `cap_*` variable, append ` (cpuinfo)` to the value string so the output makes it clear the information was derived from `/proc/cpuinfo` rather than read directly from hardware. Update `ret` to `READ_CPUID_RET_OK` so downstream status display logic (`pstatus`) reports YES rather than UNKNOWN.

A mitigation capability bit (e.g. `VERW_CLEAR`, `MD_CLEAR`) indicates that updated microcode provides a mechanism to work around a vulnerability the CPU *does* have - it belongs in the `check_CVE_YYYY_NNNNN_linux()` function (Phase 2), where it is used to determine whether mitigations are in place.

+  Each source may independently be unavailable (offline mode without the file, or stripped kernel), so check all that are present. A match in any one confirms kernel support.
 
-  **Architecture awareness:** Kernel symbols, kconfig options, and kernel-image strings are architecture-specific. An x86 host may be inspecting an ARM kernel (or vice versa) in offline mode, so always use positive-logic arch guards from `src/libs/365_kernel_arch.sh` and `src/libs/360_cpu_smt.sh`. This prevents searching for irrelevant strings (e.g. x86 `spec_store_bypass` in an ARM kernel image) and ensures verdict messages and `explain` text match the target architecture (e.g. "update CPU microcode" for x86 vs "update firmware for SMCCC ARCH_WORKAROUND_2" for ARM).
-
-  Use **positive logic** — always `if is_x86_kernel` (not `if ! is_arm_kernel`) and `if is_x86_cpu` (not `if ! is_arm_cpu`). This ensures unknown architectures (MIPS, RISC-V, PowerPC) are handled safely by defaulting to "skip" rather than "execute."
-
-  Two sets of helpers serve different purposes — in no-hw mode the host CPU and the kernel being inspected can be different architectures, so the correct guard depends on what is being checked:
-  - **`is_x86_kernel`/`is_arm_kernel`**: Gate checks that inspect **kernel artifacts** (kernel image strings, kconfig, System.map). These detect the architecture of the target kernel, not the host, so they work correctly in offline/no-hw mode when analyzing a foreign kernel.
-  - **`is_x86_cpu`/`is_arm_cpu`**: Gate **hardware operations** that require the host CPU to be a given architecture (CPUID, MSR reads, `/proc/cpuinfo` flags, microcode version checks). These always reflect the running host CPU.
-  - Within a single vuln check, you may need **both** guards independently — e.g. `is_x86_cpu` for the microcode/MSR check and `is_x86_kernel` for the kernel image grep, not one wrapping the other.
-
-  Example:
+- **Runtime state** (live mode only): Read MSRs, check cpuinfo flags, parse dmesg, inspect debugfs. All runtime-only checks — including `/proc/cpuinfo` flags — must be guarded by `if [ "$opt_live" = 1 ]`, both when collecting the evidence in Phase 2 and when using it in Phase 4. In Phase 4, use explicit live/offline branches so that live-only variables (e.g. cpuinfo flags, MSR values) are never referenced in the offline path.
   ```sh
-  # x86-specific kernel image search
-  if [ -n "$g_kernel" ] && is_x86_kernel; then
-      mitigation=$("${opt_arch_prefix}strings" "$g_kernel" | grep x86_specific_string)
-  fi
-  # ARM-specific System.map search
-  if [ -n "$opt_map" ] && is_arm_kernel; then
-      mitigation=$(grep -w arm_mitigation_function "$opt_map")

-  # x86-specific hardware read
-  if is_x86_cpu; then
-      read_cpuid 0x7 0x0 "$EDX" 26 1 1
-  fi
-  ```
-  The same applies to Phase 4 verdict messages: when the explanation or remediation advice differs between architectures (e.g. "CPU microcode update" vs "firmware/kernel update"), branch on `is_arm_kernel`/`is_x86_kernel` rather than on `cpu_vendor`, because `cpu_vendor` reflects the host, not the target kernel.

-- **Affected CPUs:** Intel Core family (Sandy Bridge through Kaby Lake) when lazy FPU switching is in use
-- **CVSS:** 4.3 (Medium)
-
-Intel CPUs using lazy FPU state switching may speculatively expose another process's FPU/SSE/AVX register contents (including AES round keys and other cryptographic material) across context switches. The `#NM` (device-not-available) exception normally used to trigger lazy restore is delivered late enough that dependent instructions can transiently execute against the stale FPU state before the fault squashes them.
-
-**Why out of scope:** The Linux mitigation is to use eager FPU save/restore, which was already the default on Intel CPUs with XSAVEOPT well before disclosure, and was then hard-enforced upstream by the removal of all lazy FPU code in Linux 4.14 (Andy Lutomirski's "x86/fpu: Hard-disable lazy FPU mode" cleanup). There is no `/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/` entry, no CPUID flag, no MSR, and no kernel config option that reflects this mitigation — detection on a running kernel would require hardcoding kernel version ranges, which is against this tool's design principles (same rationale as CVE-2019-15902). In practice, any supported kernel today is eager-FPU-only, and CPUs advertising XSAVEOPT/XSAVES cannot enter the vulnerable lazy-switching mode regardless of kernel configuration.

-
-An attack technique that combines a pre-existing kernel memory corruption bug (e.g., a heap buffer overflow) with speculative execution to perform "Speculative BROP" (Blind Return-Oriented Programming). Instead of crashing the system when probing invalid addresses, BlindSide performs the probing speculatively: faults are suppressed in the speculative domain, and information is leaked via cache timing side channels. This allows an attacker to silently derandomize kernel memory layout and bypass KASLR/FGKASLR without triggering any fault.
-
-**Why out of scope:** BlindSide is an exploitation technique, not a discrete hardware vulnerability: no CVE was assigned. Red Hat explicitly states it is "not a new flaw, but a new attack." It requires a pre-existing kernel memory corruption bug as a prerequisite, and the speculative execution aspect leverages the same BTB behavior as Spectre V2 (CVE-2017-5715).

-A microarchitectural correctness erratum where a conditional jump instruction that straddles or ends at a 64-byte instruction fetch boundary can corrupt the branch predictor state, potentially causing incorrect execution. Intel addressed this in a November 2019 microcode update. Compilers and assemblers (GCC, LLVM, binutils) also introduced alignment options (`-mbranch-alignment`, `-x86-branches-within-32B-boundaries`) to pad jump instructions away from boundary conditions, preserving performance on CPUs with updated microcode.
-
-**Why out of scope:** The JCC erratum is a microarchitectural correctness bug, not a transient or speculative execution side-channel vulnerability. No CVE was ever assigned. Red Hat noted that privilege escalation "has not been ruled out" but made no definitive security finding, and no exploit has been demonstrated. There is no Linux sysfs entry, no CPUID bit, and no MSR flag exposing the mitigation status. The microcode fix introduces no detectable hardware indicator, so checking for it would require maintaining a per-CPU-stepping minimum microcode version table (the design principle 3 exception) — costly to maintain without a CVE anchor or confirmed exploitability to justify the ongoing work. The kernel compiler mitigation is a build-time-only change (instruction alignment) with no observable runtime state.

 Certain special CPU instructions (RDRAND, RDSEED, EGETKEY) read data through a shared staging buffer that is accessible across all cores via speculative execution. An attacker running code on any core can observe the output of these instructions from a victim on a different core, including extracting cryptographic keys from SGX enclaves (a complete ECDSA key was demonstrated). This is notable as one of the first cross-core speculative execution attacks. Mitigation requires a microcode update that serializes access to the staging buffer, plus a kernel update to manage the mitigation. Performance impact is low, mainly affecting workloads that heavily use RDRAND/RDSEED.
 
-**CVE-2022-21123, CVE-2022-21125, CVE-2022-21166 — Processor MMIO Stale Data (SBDR, SBDS, DRPW)**
-
-A class of MMIO (Memory-Mapped I/O) vulnerabilities where stale data from CPU internal fill buffers can be inferred through side-channel attacks during MMIO operations. Three sub-vulnerabilities are covered: Shared Buffers Data Read (SBDR, CVE-2022-21123), Shared Buffers Data Sampling (SBDS, CVE-2022-21125), and Device Register Partial Write (DRPW, CVE-2022-21166). Affected Intel CPUs include Haswell through Rocket Lake server and client processors, plus Tremont Atom cores. Mitigation requires a microcode update providing the FB_CLEAR capability (VERW instruction clears fill buffers) plus a kernel update (Linux 5.19+) that invokes VERW at kernel/user transitions and VM entry/exit. When SMT is enabled, sibling threads can still exploit the vulnerability even with mitigations active. Performance impact is low, as the VERW mechanism is shared with the existing MDS mitigation.

 **CVE-2022-29900 — Arbitrary Speculative Code Execution with Return Instructions (Retbleed AMD)**
 
 On AMD processors from families 0x15 through 0x17 (Bulldozer through Zen 2) and Hygon family 0x18, an attacker can exploit return instructions to redirect speculative execution and leak kernel memory, bypassing retpoline mitigations that were effective against Spectre V2. Unlike Spectre V2 which targets indirect jumps and calls, Retbleed specifically targets return instructions, which were previously considered safe. Mitigation requires a kernel update providing either the untrained return thunk (safe RET) or IBPB-on-entry mechanism, plus a microcode update providing IBPB support on Zen 1/2. On Zen 1/2, SMT should be disabled for full protection when using IBPB-based mitigation. Performance impact is medium.

 A race condition in the branch predictor update mechanism of Intel processors (Coffee Lake through Raptor Lake, plus some server and Atom parts) allows user-space branch predictions to briefly influence kernel-space speculative execution, undermining eIBRS and IBPB protections. This means systems relying solely on eIBRS for Spectre V2 mitigation may not be fully protected without the microcode fix. Mitigation requires a microcode update (intel-microcode 20250512+) that fixes the asynchronous branch predictor update timing so that eIBRS and IBPB work as originally intended. No kernel changes are required. Performance impact is negligible.
 
-**CVE-2025-54505 — AMD Zen1 Floating-Point Divider Stale Data Leak (FPDSS)**
-
-On AMD Zen1 and Zen+ processors (EPYC 7001, EPYC Embedded 3000, Athlon 3000 with Radeon, Ryzen 3000 with Radeon, Ryzen PRO 3000 with Radeon Vega), the hardware floating-point divider can retain partial quotient data from previous operations. Under certain circumstances, those results can be leaked to another thread sharing the same divider, crossing any privilege boundary. This was assigned CVE-2025-54505 and published by AMD as AMD-SB-7053 on 2026-04-17. Mitigation requires a kernel update (mainline commit e55d98e77561, "x86/CPU: Fix FPDSS on Zen1", Linux 7.1) that sets bit 9 (ZEN1_DENORM_FIX_BIT) of MSR 0xc0011028 (MSR_AMD64_FP_CFG) unconditionally on every Zen1 CPU at boot, disabling the hardware optimization responsible for the leak. No microcode update is required: the chicken bit is present in Zen1 silicon from the factory and is independent of microcode revision. Performance impact is limited to a small reduction in floating-point divide throughput, which is why AMD does not enable the bit by default in hardware.

-## Operating modes
-
-The script supports four operating modes, depending on whether you want to inspect the running kernel, a kernel image, the CPU hardware, or a combination.
-
-| Mode | Flag | CPU hardware | Running kernel | Kernel image | Use case |
-|------|------|:---:|:---:|:---:|----------|
-| **Live** *(default)* | *(none)* | Yes | Yes | auto-detect | Day-to-day auditing of the current system |
-| **No-runtime** | `--no-runtime` | Yes | No | required | Check a different kernel against this CPU (e.g. pre-deployment) |
-| **No-hardware** | `--no-hw` | No | No | required | Pure static analysis of a kernel image for another system or architecture |
-| **Hardware-only** | `--hw-only` | Yes | No | No | Quickly check CPU affectedness without inspecting any kernel |
-
-In **Live** mode (the default), the script inspects both the CPU and the running kernel.
-You can optionally pass `--kernel`, `--config`, or `--map` to point the script at files it couldn't auto-detect.
-
-In **No-runtime** mode, the script still reads the local CPU (CPUID, MSRs, microcode) but skips all running-kernel artifacts (`/sys`, `/proc`, `dmesg`).
-Use this when you have a kernel image from another system but want to evaluate it against the current CPU.
-
-In **No-hardware** mode, both CPU inspection and running-kernel artifacts are skipped entirely.
-This is useful for cross-architecture analysis, for example inspecting an ARM kernel image on an x86 workstation.
-
-In **Hardware-only** mode, the script only reports CPU information and per-CVE hardware affectedness, without inspecting any kernel.

-
-- `run_as_root: false` means the scan was incomplete.  Treat results as lower
-  confidence.  Alert separately: results may be missing or wrong.
-- `sysfs_only: true` means the script trusted the kernel's self-report without
-  independent verification.  Some older kernels misreport their mitigation
-  status.  Do not use `--sysfs-only` for production fleet monitoring.
-- `paranoid: true` raises the bar: only compare `vulnerable` counts across
-  hosts with the same `paranoid` value.
-- `mocked: true` must never appear on a production host.  If it does, every
-  downstream result is fabricated.

-**`microcode_up_to_date: false`** means a newer microcode is available.  This
-does not necessarily mean the system is vulnerable (the current microcode may
-still include all required mitigations), but warrants investigation.
-
----
-
-### `vulnerabilities`
-
-Array of CVE check results.  One object per checked CVE, in check order.
-Empty array (`[]`) if no CVEs were checked (unusual; would require `--cve`
-with an unknown CVE ID).
-
-| Field | Type | Values | Meaning |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| `cve` | string | e.g. `"CVE-2017-5753"` | CVE identifier |
-| `name` | string | e.g. `"SPECTRE VARIANT 1"` | Short key name used in batch formats |
-| `aliases` | string \| null | e.g. `"Spectre Variant 1, bounds check bypass"` | Full name including all known aliases |
-| `cpu_affected` | boolean | | Whether this CPU's hardware design is affected by this CVE |
-| `status` | string | `"OK"` / `"VULN"` / `"UNK"` | Check outcome (see below) |
-| `vulnerable` | boolean \| null | `false` / `true` / `null` | `false`=OK, `true`=VULN, `null`=UNK |
-| `info` | string | | Human-readable description of the specific mitigation state or reason |
-| `sysfs_status` | string \| null | `"OK"` / `"VULN"` / `"UNK"` / null | Status as reported by the kernel via `/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/`; null if sysfs was not consulted for this CVE, or if the CVE's check read sysfs in silent/quiet mode (raw message is still captured in `sysfs_message`) |
-| `sysfs_message` | string \| null | | Raw text from the sysfs file (e.g. `"Mitigation: PTI"`); null if sysfs was not consulted |
-
-#### Status values
-
-| `status` | `vulnerable` | Meaning |
-|---|---|---|
-| `"OK"` | `false` | CPU is unaffected by design, or all required mitigations are in place |
-| `"VULN"` | `true` | CPU is affected and mitigations are missing or insufficient |
-| `"UNK"` | `null` | The script could not determine the status (missing kernel info, insufficient privileges, or no detection logic for this platform) |
-
-#### `cpu_affected` explained
-
-`cpu_affected: false` with `status: "OK"` means the CPU hardware is
-architecturally immune, no patch was ever needed.
-
-`cpu_affected: true` with `status: "OK"` means the hardware has the weakness
-but all required mitigations (kernel, microcode, or both) are in place.
-
-This distinction matters for fleet auditing: filter on `cpu_affected: true` to
-see only systems where mitigation effort was actually required and confirmed.
-
-#### `sysfs_status` vs `status`
-
-`sysfs_status` is the raw kernel self-report.  `status` is the script's
-independent assessment, which may differ:
-
-- The script may **upgrade** a sysfs `"VULN"` to `"OK"` when it detects a
-  silent backport that the kernel doesn't know about.
-- The script may **downgrade** a sysfs `"OK"` to `"VULN"` when it detects an
-  incomplete mitigation the kernel doesn't flag (e.g. L1TF on a hypervisor
-  host with SMT still enabled, or TSA in `user` mode on a VMM host).
-- `sysfs_status` is `null` when the kernel has no sysfs entry for this CVE
-  (older kernels, or CVEs not yet tracked by the kernel).
-
-Always use `status` / `vulnerable` for alerting.  Use `sysfs_status` for
-diagnostics and audit trails.
-
-**Example:**
-```json
-{
-  "cve": "CVE-2017-5715",
-  "name": "SPECTRE VARIANT 2",
-  "aliases": "Spectre Variant 2, branch target injection",
-  "cpu_affected": true,
-  "status": "OK",
-  "vulnerable": false,
-  "info": "Full generic retpoline is mitigating the vulnerability",
-  "sysfs_status": "OK",
-  "sysfs_message": "Mitigation: Retpolines; IBPB: conditional; IBRS_FW; STIBP: conditional; RSB filling; PBRSB-eIBRS: Not affected; BHI: Not affected"
-}
-```
-
----
-
-## Exit codes
-
-The script exits with:
-
-| Code | Meaning |
-|---|---|
-| `0` | All checked CVEs are `OK` |
-| `2` | At least one CVE is `VULN` |
-| `3` | No CVEs are `VULN`, but at least one is `UNK` |
-
-These exit codes are the same in all batch modes and in interactive mode.
-Use them in combination with the JSON body for reliable alerting.

-
-## Caveats and edge cases
-
-**No-runtime mode (`--no-runtime`)**
-`system.kernel_release`, `kernel_version`, and `kernel_arch` are null (those
-come from `uname`, which reports the running kernel, not the inspected one).
-`meta.mode: "no-runtime"` signals this.  `system.kernel_image` and
-`system.kernel_version_string` carry the inspected image path and banner
-instead.
-
-**No-hardware mode (`--no-hw`)**
-`cpu` and `cpu_microcode` are null.  CVE checks that rely on hardware
-capability detection (`cap_*` flags, MSR reads) will report `status: "UNK"`.
-`cpu_affected` will be `false` for all CVEs (cannot determine affection without
-hardware info).  `meta.mode: "no-hw"` signals this.
-
-**Hardware-only mode (`--hw-only`)**
-Only CPU information and per-CVE affectedness are reported.  No kernel
-inspection is performed, so vulnerability mitigations are not checked.
-`meta.mode: "hw-only"` signals this.
-
-**`--sysfs-only`**
-The script trusts the kernel's sysfs report without running independent
-detection.  `meta.sysfs_only: true` flags this.  Some older kernels misreport
-their status.  Do not use for production fleet monitoring.
-
-**`--paranoid`**
-Enables defense-in-depth checks beyond the security community consensus.
-A `status: "OK"` under `paranoid: true` means a higher bar was met.  Do not
-compare results across hosts with different `paranoid` values.
-
-**`reduced_accuracy`**
-Set when the kernel image, config file, or System.map could not be read.
-Some checks fall back to weaker heuristics and may report `"UNK"` for CVEs
-that are actually mitigated.
-
-**Non-x86 architectures (ARM, ARM64)**
-On ARM, `cpu.arch` is `"arm"` and the `cpu.arm` sub-object carries `part_list`
-and `arch_list`.  The x86-specific sub-object is absent (no null noise).
-`cpu.arm.capabilities` is currently empty; ARM-specific flags will be added
-there as needed.
-
-**`mocked: true`**
-Must never appear on a production host.  If it does, the results are
-fabricated and every downstream alert is unreliable.
-
----
-
-## Schema stability
-
-`meta.format_version` is incremented on backward-incompatible changes (field
-removal or type change).  Additive changes (new fields) do not increment the
-version; consumers must tolerate unknown fields.
-
-Recommended practice: check `format_version == 1` at parse time and reject
-or alert on any other value until you have tested compatibility with the new
-version.
-
----
-
-## Migration from `json-terse`
-
-The legacy `--batch json-terse` format emits a flat array of objects:
-
-```json
-[
-  {"NAME": "SPECTRE VARIANT 1", "CVE": "CVE-2017-5753", "VULNERABLE": false, "INFOS": "..."},
-  ...
-]
-```
-
-It carries no system, CPU, or microcode context.  It has no sysfs data.  It
-uses uppercase field names.
-
-To migrate:
-
-1. Replace `--batch json-terse` with `--batch json`.
-2. The equivalent of the old `VULNERABLE` field is `vulnerabilities[].vulnerable`.
-3. The equivalent of the old `INFOS` field is `vulnerabilities[].info`.
-4. The equivalent of the old `NAME` field is `vulnerabilities[].name`.
-5. The old format is still available as `--batch json-terse` for transition
-   periods.

-# NRPE Output Format
-
-`--batch nrpe` produces output that conforms to the
-[Nagios Plugin Development Guidelines](https://nagios-plugins.org/doc/guidelines.html),
-making it directly consumable by Nagios, Icinga, Zabbix (via NRPE), and
-compatible monitoring stacks.
-
-```sh
-sudo ./spectre-meltdown-checker.sh --batch nrpe
-```
-
-## Output structure
-
-The plugin emits one mandatory status line followed by optional long output:
-
-```
-STATUS: summary | checked=N vulnerable=N unknown=N
-NOTE: ...          ← context notes (when applicable)
-[CRITICAL] CVE-XXXX-YYYY (NAME): description
-[UNKNOWN]  CVE-XXXX-YYYY (NAME): description
-```
-
-### Line 1 (status line)
-
-Always present.  Parsed by every Nagios-compatible monitoring system.
-
-```
-STATUS: summary | perfdata
-```
-
-| Field | Values | Meaning |
-|---|---|---|
-| `STATUS` | `OK` / `CRITICAL` / `UNKNOWN` | Overall check outcome (see below) |
-| `summary` | human-readable string | Count and CVE IDs of affected checks |
-| `perfdata` | `checked=N vulnerable=N unknown=N` | Machine-readable counters for graphing |
-
-#### Status values
-
-| Status | Exit code | Condition |
-|---|---|---|
-| `OK` | `0` | All CVE checks passed |
-| `CRITICAL` | `2` | At least one CVE is vulnerable |
-| `UNKNOWN` | `3` | No VULN found, but at least one check is inconclusive **or** the script was not run as root and found apparent vulnerabilities (see below) |
-
-#### Summary format
-
-| Condition | Summary |
-|---|---|
-| All OK | `All N CVE checks passed` |
-| VULN only | `N/T CVE(s) vulnerable: CVE-A CVE-B ...` |
-| VULN + UNK | `N/T CVE(s) vulnerable: CVE-A CVE-B ..., M inconclusive` |
-| UNK only | `N/T CVE checks inconclusive` |
-| Non-root + VULN | `N/T CVE(s) appear vulnerable (unconfirmed, not root): CVE-A ...` |
-| Non-root + VULN + UNK | `N/T CVE(s) appear vulnerable (unconfirmed, not root): CVE-A ..., M inconclusive` |
-
-### Lines 2+ (long output)
-
-Shown in the detail/extended info view of most monitoring frontends.
-Never parsed by the monitoring core; safe to add or reorder.
-
-#### Context notes
-
-Printed before per-CVE details when applicable.  Notes are emitted in this
-order when more than one applies:
-
-| Note | Condition |
-|---|---|
-| `NOTE: paranoid mode active, stricter mitigation requirements applied` | `--paranoid` was used |
-| `NOTE: hypervisor host detected (reason); L1TF/MDS severity is elevated` | System is detected as a VM host (KVM, Xen, VMware…) |
-| `NOTE: not a hypervisor host` | System is confirmed not a VM host |
-| `NOTE: not running as root; MSR reads skipped, results may be incomplete` | Script ran without root privileges |
-
-When VMM detection did not run (e.g. `--no-hw`), neither the
-`hypervisor host detected` nor the `not a hypervisor host` note is printed.
-
-#### Per-CVE detail lines
-
-One line per non-OK CVE.  VULN entries (`[CRITICAL]`) appear before UNK
-entries (`[UNKNOWN]`); within each group the order follows the CVE registry.
-
-```
-[CRITICAL] CVE-XXXX-YYYY (SHORT NAME): mitigation status description
-[UNKNOWN]  CVE-XXXX-YYYY (SHORT NAME): reason check was inconclusive
-```
-
-## Exit codes
-
-| Code | Nagios meaning | Condition |
-|---|---|---|
-| `0` | OK | All checked CVEs are mitigated or hardware-unaffected |
-| `2` | CRITICAL | At least one CVE is vulnerable (script ran as root) |
-| `3` | UNKNOWN | At least one check inconclusive, or apparent VULN found without root |
-| `255` | - | Script error (bad arguments, unsupported platform) |
-
-Exit code `1` (WARNING) is not used; there is no "degraded but acceptable"
-state for CPU vulnerability mitigations.
-
-## Non-root behaviour
-
-Running without root privileges skips MSR reads and limits access to some
-kernel interfaces.  When the script finds apparent vulnerabilities without root:
-
-- The status word becomes `UNKNOWN` instead of `CRITICAL`
-- The exit code is `3` instead of `2`
-- The summary says `appear vulnerable (unconfirmed, not root)`
-- A `NOTE: not running as root` line is added to the long output
-
-**Recommendation:** always run with `sudo` for authoritative results.  A
-`CRITICAL` from a root-run scan is a confirmed vulnerability; an `UNKNOWN`
-from a non-root scan is a signal to investigate further.
-
-## Hypervisor hosts
-
-When `NOTE: hypervisor host detected` is present, L1TF (CVE-2018-3646) and
-MDS (CVE-2018-12126/12130/12127) carry significantly higher risk because
-they can be exploited across VM boundaries by a malicious guest.  Prioritise
-remediation on these hosts.
-
-## Examples
-
-**All mitigated (root):**
-```
-OK: All 31 CVE checks passed | checked=31 vulnerable=0 unknown=0
-NOTE: not a hypervisor host
-```
-Exit: `0`
-
-**Two CVEs vulnerable (root):**
-```
-CRITICAL: 2/31 CVE(s) vulnerable: CVE-2018-3615 CVE-2019-11135 | checked=31 vulnerable=2 unknown=0
-NOTE: not a hypervisor host
-[CRITICAL] CVE-2018-3615 (L1TF SGX): your CPU supports SGX and the microcode is not up to date
-[CRITICAL] CVE-2019-11135 (TAA): Your kernel doesn't support TAA mitigation, update it
-```
-Exit: `2`
-
-**Apparent vulnerabilities, non-root scan:**
-```
-UNKNOWN: 2/31 CVE(s) appear vulnerable (unconfirmed, not root): CVE-2018-3615 CVE-2019-11135 | checked=31 vulnerable=2 unknown=0
-NOTE: not a hypervisor host
-NOTE: not running as root; MSR reads skipped, results may be incomplete
-[CRITICAL] CVE-2018-3615 (L1TF SGX): your CPU supports SGX and the microcode is not up to date
-[CRITICAL] CVE-2019-11135 (TAA): Your kernel doesn't support TAA mitigation, update it
-```
-Exit: `3`
-
-**Inconclusive checks, paranoid mode, VMM host:**
-```
-UNKNOWN: 3/31 CVE checks inconclusive | checked=31 vulnerable=0 unknown=3
-NOTE: paranoid mode active, stricter mitigation requirements applied
-NOTE: hypervisor host detected (kvm); L1TF/MDS severity is elevated
-[UNKNOWN]  CVE-2018-3646 (L1TF VMM): SMT is enabled on a hypervisor host, not mitigated under paranoid mode
-```

-# Prometheus Batch Mode
-
-`--batch prometheus` emits Prometheus text-format metrics that can be fed into any
-Prometheus-compatible monitoring stack. It is designed for **fleet-scale security
-monitoring**: run the script periodically on every host, push the output to a
-Prometheus Pushgateway (or drop it into a node_exporter textfile directory), then
-alert and dashboard from Prometheus/Grafana like any other infrastructure metric.
-
----
-
-## Quick start
-
-### Pushgateway (recommended for cron/batch fleet scans)
-
-```sh
-#!/bin/sh
-PUSHGATEWAY="http://pushgateway.internal:9091"
-INSTANCE=$(hostname -f)
-
-spectre-meltdown-checker.sh --batch prometheus \
-  | curl --silent --show-error --data-binary @- \
-    "${PUSHGATEWAY}/metrics/job/smc/instance/${INSTANCE}"
-```
-
-Run this as root via cron or a systemd timer on every host.  The Pushgateway
-retains the last pushed value, so Prometheus scrapes it on its own schedule.
-A stale-data alert (`smc_last_scan_timestamp_seconds`) catches hosts that stopped
-reporting.
-
-### node_exporter textfile collector
-
-```sh
-#!/bin/sh
-TEXTFILE_DIR="/var/lib/node_exporter/textfile_collector"
-TMP="${TEXTFILE_DIR}/smc.prom.$$"
-
-spectre-meltdown-checker.sh --batch prometheus > "$TMP"
-mv "$TMP" "${TEXTFILE_DIR}/smc.prom"
-```
-
-The atomic `mv` prevents node_exporter from reading a partially written file.
-node_exporter must be started with `--collector.textfile.directory` pointing at
-`TEXTFILE_DIR`.
-
----
-
-## Metric reference
-
-All metric names are prefixed `smc_` (spectre-meltdown-checker).  All metrics
-are **gauges**: they represent the state at the time of the scan, not a running
-counter.
-
----
-
-### `smc_build_info`
-
-Script metadata.  Always value `1`; all data is in labels.
-
-| Label | Values | Meaning |
-|---|---|---|
-| `version` | string | Script version (e.g. `25.30.0250400123`) |
-| `mode` | `live` / `no-runtime` / `no-hw` / `hw-only` | Operating mode (see below) |
-| `run_as_root` | `true` / `false` | Whether the script ran as root.  Non-root scans skip MSR reads and may miss mitigations |
-| `paranoid` | `true` / `false` | `--paranoid` mode: stricter criteria (e.g. requires SMT disabled) |
-| `sysfs_only` | `true` / `false` | `--sysfs-only` mode: only the kernel's own sysfs report was used, not independent detection |
-| `reduced_accuracy` | `true` / `false` | Kernel information was incomplete (no kernel image, config, or map); some checks may be less precise |
-| `mocked` | `true` / `false` | Debug/test mode: CPU values were overridden.  Results do **not** reflect the real system |
-
-**Example:**
-```
-smc_build_info{version="25.30.0250400123",mode="live",run_as_root="true",paranoid="false",sysfs_only="false",reduced_accuracy="false",mocked="false"} 1
-```
-
-**Important labels for fleet operators:**
-
-- `run_as_root="false"` means the scan was incomplete.  Treat those results as
-  lower confidence and alert separately.
-- `sysfs_only="true"` means the script trusted the kernel's self-report without
-  independent verification.  The kernel may be wrong about its own mitigation
-  status (known to happen on older kernels).
-- `paranoid="true"` raises the bar: a host with `paranoid="true"` and
-  `vulnerable_count=0` is held to a higher standard than one with `paranoid="false"`.
-  Do not compare counts across hosts with different `paranoid` values.
-- `mocked="true"` must never appear on a production host; if it does, the results
-  are fabricated and every downstream alert is unreliable.

-
-### `smc_system_info`
-
-Operating system and kernel metadata.  Always value `1`.
-
-Absent entirely when none of `kernel_release`, `kernel_arch`, or
-`hypervisor_host` can be determined (e.g. non-live mode with no VMM detection).
-Each label is emitted only when its value is known; missing labels are
-omitted rather than set to an empty string.
-
-| Label | Values | Meaning |
-|---|---|---|
-| `kernel_release` | string | Output of `uname -r`; emitted only in live mode |
-| `kernel_arch` | string | Output of `uname -m`; emitted only in live mode |
-| `hypervisor_host` | `true` / `false` | Whether this machine is detected as a hypervisor host (running KVM, Xen, VMware, etc.); absent when VMM detection did not run (e.g. `--no-hw`) |
-
-**Example:**
-```
-smc_system_info{kernel_release="5.15.0-100-generic",kernel_arch="x86_64",hypervisor_host="false"} 1
-```
-
-**`hypervisor_host`** materially changes the risk profile of several CVEs.
-L1TF (CVE-2018-3646) and MDS (CVE-2018-12126/12130/12127) are significantly more
-severe on hypervisor hosts because they can be exploited across VM boundaries by
-a malicious guest.  Always prioritise remediation on hosts where
-`hypervisor_host="true"`.
-
----
-
-### `smc_cpu_info`
-
-CPU hardware and microcode metadata.  Always value `1`.  Absent when `--no-hw`
-is used or when `--arch-prefix` is set (host CPU info is suppressed to avoid
-mixing with a different-arch target kernel).
-
-Common labels (always emitted when the data is available):
-
-| Label | Values | Meaning |
-|---|---|---|
-| `vendor` | string | CPU vendor (e.g. `GenuineIntel`, `AuthenticAMD`, `HygonGenuine`, `ARM`) |
-| `model` | string | CPU friendly name from `/proc/cpuinfo` |
-| `arch` | `x86` / `arm` | Architecture family; determines which arch-specific labels follow |
-| `smt` | `true` / `false` | Whether SMT (HyperThreading) is currently enabled; absent if undeterminable |
-| `microcode` | hex string | Installed microcode version (e.g. `0xf4`); absent if unreadable |
-| `microcode_latest` | hex string | Latest known-good microcode version from the firmware database; absent if the CPU is not in the database |
-| `microcode_up_to_date` | `true` / `false` | Whether `microcode == microcode_latest`; absent if either is unavailable |
-| `microcode_blacklisted` | `true` / `false` | Whether the installed microcode is known to cause problems and should be rolled back; emitted whenever `microcode` is emitted |
-
-x86-only labels (emitted when `arch="x86"`):
-
-| Label | Values | Meaning |
-|---|---|---|
-| `family` | integer string | CPU family number |
-| `model_id` | integer string | CPU model number |
-| `stepping` | integer string | CPU stepping number |
-| `cpuid` | hex string | Full CPUID value (e.g. `0x000906ed`) |
-| `codename` | string | Intel CPU codename (e.g. `Coffee Lake`); absent on AMD/Hygon |
-
-ARM-only labels (emitted when `arch="arm"`):
-
-| Label | Values | Meaning |
-|---|---|---|
-| `part_list` | string | Space-separated list of ARM part numbers across cores (e.g. `0xd0b 0xd05` on big.LITTLE) |
-| `arch_list` | string | Space-separated list of ARM architecture levels across cores (e.g. `8 8`) |
-
-**x86 example:**
-```
-smc_cpu_info{vendor="GenuineIntel",model="Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700K CPU @ 3.60GHz",arch="x86",family="6",model_id="158",stepping="13",cpuid="0x000906ed",codename="Coffee Lake",smt="true",microcode="0xf4",microcode_latest="0xf4",microcode_up_to_date="true",microcode_blacklisted="false"} 1
-```
-
-**ARM example:**
-```
-smc_cpu_info{vendor="ARM",model="ARM v8 model 0xd0b",arch="arm",part_list="0xd0b 0xd05",arch_list="8 8",smt="false"} 1
-```
-
-**Microcode labels:**
-
-- `microcode_up_to_date="false"` means a newer microcode is available in the
-  firmware database.  This does not necessarily mean the system is vulnerable
-  (the current microcode may still provide all required mitigations), but it
-  warrants investigation.
-- `microcode_blacklisted="true"` means the installed microcode is known to
-  cause system instability or incorrect behaviour and must be rolled back
-  immediately.  Treat this as a P1 incident.
-- `microcode_latest` may be absent if the CPU is not in the firmware database
-  (very new, very old, or exotic CPUs).
-
-**`smt`** affects the risk level of several CVEs (MDS, L1TF).  For those CVEs,
-full mitigation requires disabling SMT in addition to kernel and microcode updates.
-The script accounts for this in its status assessment; use this label to audit
-which hosts still have SMT enabled.
-
----
-
-### `smc_vulnerability_status`
-
-One time series per CVE.  The **numeric value** encodes the check result:
-
-| Value | Meaning |
-|---|---|
-| `0` | Not vulnerable (CPU is unaffected by design, or all required mitigations are in place) |
-| `1` | Vulnerable (mitigations are missing or insufficient) |
-| `2` | Unknown (the script could not determine the status, e.g. due to missing kernel info or insufficient privileges) |
-
-| Label | Values | Meaning |
-|---|---|---|
-| `cve` | CVE ID string | The CVE identifier (e.g. `CVE-2017-5753`) |
-| `name` | string | Human-readable CVE name and aliases (e.g. `Spectre Variant 1, bounds check bypass`) |
-| `cpu_affected` | `true` / `false` | Whether this CPU's hardware design is concerned by this CVE |
-
-**Example:**
-```
-smc_vulnerability_status{cve="CVE-2017-5753",name="Spectre Variant 1, bounds check bypass",cpu_affected="true"} 0
-smc_vulnerability_status{cve="CVE-2017-5715",name="Spectre Variant 2, branch target injection",cpu_affected="true"} 1
-smc_vulnerability_status{cve="CVE-2022-29900",name="Retbleed, arbitrary speculative code execution with return instructions (AMD)",cpu_affected="false"} 0
-```
-
-**`cpu_affected` explained:**
-
-A value of `0` with `cpu_affected="false"` means the CPU hardware is architecturally
-immune to this CVE, no patch was needed or applied.
-
-A value of `0` with `cpu_affected="true"` means the CPU has the hardware weakness
-but all required mitigations (kernel, microcode, or both) are in place.
-
-This distinction is important when auditing a fleet: if you need to verify that
-all at-risk systems are patched, filter on `cpu_affected="true"` to exclude
-hardware-immune systems from the analysis.
-
----
-
-### `smc_vulnerable_count`
-
-Number of CVEs with status `1` (vulnerable) in this scan.  Value is `0` when
-no CVEs are vulnerable.
-
----
-
-### `smc_unknown_count`
-
-Number of CVEs with status `2` (unknown) in this scan.  A non-zero value
-typically means the scan lacked sufficient privileges or kernel information.
-Treat unknown the same as vulnerable for alerting purposes.
-
----
-
-### `smc_last_scan_timestamp_seconds`
-
-Unix timestamp (seconds since epoch) when the scan completed.  Use this to
-detect hosts that have stopped reporting.

-## Caveats and edge cases
-
-**No-runtime mode (`--no-runtime`)**
-`smc_system_info` will have no `kernel_release` or `kernel_arch` labels (those
-come from `uname`, which reports the running kernel, not the inspected one).
-`mode="no-runtime"` in `smc_build_info` signals this.  No-runtime mode is
-primarily useful for pre-deployment auditing, not fleet runtime monitoring.
-
-**No-hardware mode (`--no-hw`)**
-`smc_cpu_info` is not emitted.  CPU and microcode labels are absent from all
-queries.  CVE checks that rely on hardware capability detection (`cap_*` flags,
-MSR reads) will report `unknown` status.  `mode="no-hw"` in `smc_build_info`
-signals this.
-
-**Cross-arch inspection (`--arch-prefix`)**
-When a cross-arch toolchain prefix is passed, the script suppresses the host
-CPU metadata so it does not get mixed with data from a different-arch target
-kernel: `smc_cpu_info` is not emitted, the same as under `--no-hw`.
-
-**Hardware-only mode (`--hw-only`)**
-Only hardware detection is performed; CVE checks are skipped.  `smc_cpu_info`
-is emitted but no `smc_vulnerability_status` metrics appear (and
-`smc_vulnerable_count` / `smc_unknown_count` are `0`).  `mode="hw-only"` in
-`smc_build_info` signals this.
-
-**`--sysfs-only`**
-The script trusts the kernel's sysfs report (`/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/`)
-without running its own independent detection.  Some older kernels are known to
-misreport their mitigation status.  `sysfs_only="true"` in `smc_build_info`
-flags this condition.  Do not use `--sysfs-only` for production fleet monitoring.
-
-**`--paranoid`**
-Enables defense-in-depth checks beyond the security community consensus (e.g.
-requires SMT to be disabled, IBPB always-on).  A host is only `vulnerable_count=0`
-under `paranoid` if it meets this higher bar.  Do not compare `vulnerable_count`
-across hosts with different `paranoid` values.
-
-**`reduced_accuracy`**
-Set when the kernel image, config file, or System.map could not be read.  Some
-checks fall back to weaker heuristics and may report `unknown` for CVEs that are
-actually mitigated.  This typically happens when the script runs without root or
-on a kernel with an inaccessible image.
-
-**Label stability**
-Prometheus identifies time series by their full label set.  If a script upgrade
-adds or renames a label (e.g. a new `smc_cpu_info` label is added for a new CVE),
-Prometheus will create a new time series and the old one will become stale.  Plan
-for this in long-retention dashboards by using `group_left` joins rather than
-hardcoding label matchers.

+	Usage:
+		Live mode (auto):   $(basename $0) [options]
+		Live mode (manual): $(basename $0) [options] <[--kernel <kimage>] [--config <kconfig>] [--map <mapfile>]> --live
+		Offline mode:       $(basename $0) [options] <[--kernel <kimage>] [--config <kconfig>] [--map <mapfile>]>
+
 	Modes:
-		* Live mode:          $(basename $0) [options] [--kernel <kimage>] [--config <kconfig>] [--map <mapfile>]
-			Inspect the currently running kernel within the context of the CPU it's running on.
-			You can optionally specify --kernel, --config, or --map to help the script locate files it couldn't auto-detect
+		Two modes are available.
 
-		* No-runtime mode:    $(basename $0) [options] --no-runtime <--kernel <kimage>> [--config <kconfig>] [--map <mapfile>]
-			Inspect the CPU hardware, but skips all running-kernel artifacts (/sys, /proc, dmesg).
-			Use this when you have a kernel image different from the kernel you're running but want to check it against this CPU.
+		First mode is the "live" mode (default), it does its best to find information about the currently running kernel.
+		To run under this mode, just start the script without any option (you can also use --live explicitly)
 
-		* No-hardware mode:   $(basename $0) [options] --no-hw <--kernel <kimage>> [--config <kconfig>] [--map <mapfile>]
-			Ignore both CPU hardware and running-kernel artifacts. Use this for pure static analysis of a kernel image,
-			for example when inspecting a kernel targeted for another system or CPU.
+		Second mode is the "offline" mode, where you can inspect a non-running kernel.
+		This mode is automatically enabled when you specify the location of the kernel file, config and System.map files:
 
-		* Hardware-only mode: $(basename $0) [options] --hw-only
-			Only inspect the CPU hardware, and report information and affectedness per vulnerability.
+		--kernel kernel_file	specify a (possibly compressed) Linux or BSD kernel file
+		--config kernel_config	specify a kernel config file (Linux only)
+		--map kernel_map_file	specify a kernel System.map file (Linux only)
 
-	Vulnerability selection:
-		--variant VARIANT	specify which variant you'd like to check, by default all variants are checked.
-					can be used multiple times (e.g. --variant 3a --variant l1tf). For a list use 'help'.
-		--cve CVE		specify which CVE you'd like to check, by default all supported CVEs are checked
-					can be used multiple times (e.g. --cve CVE-2017-5753 --cve CVE-2020-0543)
-		--errata NUMBER		specify a vendor-numbered erratum (e.g. ARM64 erratum 1530923) that has no CVE
-					assigned. Maps the erratum to the corresponding check. For a list use 'help'.
-					Can be used multiple times (e.g. --errata 1530923 --errata 3194386).
+		If you want to use live mode while specifying the location of the kernel, config or map file yourself,
+		you can add --live to the above options, to tell the script to run in live mode instead of the offline mode,
+		which is enabled by default when at least one file is specified on the command line.
 
-	Check scope:
-		--no-sysfs		don't use the /sys interface even if present [Linux]
-		--sysfs-only		only use the /sys interface, don't run our own checks [Linux]
-
-	Strictness:
+	Options:
+		--no-color		don't use color codes
+		--verbose, -v		increase verbosity level, possibly several times
+		--explain		produce an additional human-readable explanation of actions to take to mitigate a vulnerability
 		--paranoid		require all mitigations to be enabled to the fullest extent, including those that
 					are not strictly necessary but provide defense in depth (e.g. SMT disabled, IBPB
 					always-on); without this flag, the script follows the security community consensus
 		--extra			run additional checks for issues that don't have a CVE but are still security-relevant,
 					such as compile-time mitigations not enabled by default (e.g. Straight-Line Speculation)
 
-	Hardware and platform:
-		--cpu [#,all]		interact with CPUID and MSR of CPU core number #, or all (default: CPU core 0)
-		--vmm [auto,yes,no]	override the detection of the presence of a hypervisor, default: auto
-		--allow-msr-write	allow probing for write-only MSRs, this might produce kernel logs or be blocked by your system
-		--arch-prefix PREFIX	specify a prefix for cross-inspecting a kernel of a different arch, for example "aarch64-linux-gnu-",
-					so that invoked tools will be prefixed with this (i.e. aarch64-linux-gnu-objdump)
+		--no-sysfs		don't use the /sys interface even if present [Linux]
+		--sysfs-only		only use the /sys interface, don't run our own checks [Linux]
 		--coreos		special mode for CoreOS (use an ephemeral toolbox to inspect kernel) [Linux]
 
-	Output:
-		--batch FORMAT		produce machine readable output; FORMAT is one of:
-					text (default), short, json, json-terse, nrpe, prometheus
-		--no-color		don't use color codes
-		--verbose, -v		increase verbosity level, possibly several times
-		--explain		produce an additional human-readable explanation of actions to take to mitigate a vulnerability
+		--arch-prefix PREFIX	specify a prefix for cross-inspecting a kernel of a different arch, for example "aarch64-linux-gnu-",
+					so that invoked tools will be prefixed with this (i.e. aarch64-linux-gnu-objdump)
+		--batch text		produce machine readable output, this is the default if --batch is specified alone
+		--batch short		produce only one line with the vulnerabilities separated by spaces
+		--batch json		produce JSON output formatted for Puppet, Ansible, Chef...
+		--batch nrpe		produce machine readable output formatted for NRPE
+		--batch prometheus      produce output for consumption by prometheus-node-exporter
 
-	Firmware database:
+		--variant VARIANT	specify which variant you'd like to check, by default all variants are checked.
+					can be used multiple times (e.g. --variant 3a --variant l1tf)
+					for a list of supported VARIANT parameters, use --variant help
+		--cve CVE		specify which CVE you'd like to check, by default all supported CVEs are checked
+					can be used multiple times (e.g. --cve CVE-2017-5753 --cve CVE-2020-0543)
+		--hw-only		only check for CPU information, don't check for any variant
+		--no-hw			skip CPU information and checks, if you're inspecting a kernel not to be run on this host
+		--vmm [auto,yes,no]	override the detection of the presence of a hypervisor, default: auto
+		--no-intel-db		don't use the builtin Intel DB of affected processors
+		--allow-msr-write	allow probing for write-only MSRs, this might produce kernel logs or be blocked by your system
+		--cpu [#,all]		interact with CPUID and MSR of CPU core number #, or all (default: CPU core 0)
 		--update-fwdb		update our local copy of the CPU microcodes versions database (using the awesome
 					MCExtractor project and the Intel firmwares GitHub repository)
 		--update-builtin-fwdb	same as --update-fwdb but update builtin DB inside the script itself
-
-	Debug:
 		--dump-mock-data	used to mimick a CPU on an other system, mainly used to help debugging this script
