[PATCH RFC 0/8] powerpc barrier_nospec

From: Michal Suchanek
Date: Tue Mar 13 2018 - 14:36:26 EST


Hello,

this is patchset adding barrier_nospec on powerpc. It is based on the
out-of-tree gmb() patch and the existing rfi patches.

I do not have the tests for the Spectre/Meltdown issues available so this is
untested.

Feedback on the general approach as well as actual effectivity is welcome.

Thanks

Michal
