[PATCH 2/6] arm64: add sysfs vulnerability show for meltdown

From: Jeremy Linton
Date: Thu Dec 06 2018 - 18:44:34 EST


Add a simple state machine which will track whether
all the online cores in a machine are vulnerable.

Once that is done we have a fairly authoritative view
of the machine vulnerability, which allows us to make a
judgment about machine safety if it hasn't been mitigated.
