[PATCH v2 07/17] arm64: ssbd: Skip apply_ssbd if not using dynamic mitigation

From: Marc Zyngier
Date: Tue May 29 2018 - 08:12:02 EST


In order to avoid checking arm64_ssbd_callback_required on each
kernel entry/exit even if no mitigation is required, let's
add yet another alternative that by default jumps over the mitigation,
and that gets nop'ed out if we're doing dynamic mitigation.

Think of it as a poor man's static key...
