[PATCH 4.19 16/18] ARM: Spectre-BHB workaround

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Mar 09 2022 - 11:06:46 EST


From: "Russell King (Oracle)" <rmk+kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

comomit b9baf5c8c5c356757f4f9d8180b5e9d234065bc3 upstream.

Workaround the Spectre BHB issues for Cortex-A15, Cortex-A57,
Cortex-A72, Cortex-A73 and Cortex-A75. We also include Brahma B15 as
well to be safe, which is affected by Spectre V2 in the same ways as
Cortex-A15.

Reviewed-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx>
Signed-off-by: Russell King (Oracle) <rmk+kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[changes due to lack of SYSTEM_FREEING_INITMEM - gregkh]
