According to the Samba Official Wiki the Linux cifs kernel client has been included in the kernel since kernel version 2.5.42. SMB3 is the now the default dialect (SMB3.02/SMB3/SMB2.1 dialects are requested by default). CIFS protocol (and other old dialects) can be selected (by specifying "vers=1.0" or "vers=2.02" in the mount options.  The newest, most secure dialect, SMB3.11 can also be requested (vers=3.1.1).
