Hi,
running v4.18-rc5 (plus still missing "power: vexpress: fix corruption
in notifier registration", otherwise I get this rcu_sched stall issue)
on TC2 (A7 boot) with vanilla multi_v7_defconfig plus
CONFIG_ARM_BIG_LITTLE_CPUIDLE=y gives me continuous:
...
CPUX: Spectre v2: incorrect context switching function, system vulnerable
...
messages.
Work around is to disable CONFIG_HARDEN_BRANCH_PREDICTOR.
