[PATCH 2/2] KVM: arm64: Substitute RANDOMIZE_BASE for HARDEN_EL2_VECTORS

From: David Brazdil
Date: Tue Jul 21 2020 - 05:45:07 EST


The HARDEN_EL2_VECTORS config maps vectors at a fixed location on cores which
are susceptible to Spector variant 3a (A57, A72) to prevent defeating hyp
layout randomization by leaking the value of VBAR_EL2.

Since this feature is only applicable when EL2 layout randomization is enabled,
unify both behind the same RANDOMIZE_BASE Kconfig. Majority of code remains
conditional on a capability selected for the affected cores.

- Speculation attacks against some high-performance processors can

- This config option will map the vectors to a fixed location,
