[PATCH 4.20 025/145] powerpc/fsl: Fix spectre_v2 mitigations reporting

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jan 07 2019 - 07:40:14 EST


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

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

From: Diana Craciun <diana.craciun@xxxxxxx>

commit 7d8bad99ba5a22892f0cad6881289fdc3875a930 upstream.

Currently for CONFIG_PPC_FSL_BOOK3E the spectre_v2 file is incorrect:

$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v2
"Mitigation: Software count cache flush"

Which is wrong. Fix it to report vulnerable for now.
