[PATCH 4.14 026/107] powerpc/64s: Enable barrier_nospec based on firmware settings

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Apr 01 2019 - 13:21:18 EST


4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michal Suchanek <msuchanek@xxxxxxx>

commit cb3d6759a93c6d0aea1c10deb6d00e111c29c19c upstream.

Check what firmware told us and enable/disable the barrier_nospec as
appropriate.

We err on the side of enabling the barrier, as it's no-op on older
systems, see the comment for more detail.
