[RFC PATCH] riscv: Enable generic CPU vulnerabilites support

From: Jinjie Ruan
Date: Tue Jul 02 2024 - 22:24:12 EST


Currently x86, ARM and ARM64 support generic CPU vulnerabilites, but
RISC-V not, such as:

# cd /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/
x86:
# cat spec_store_bypass
Mitigation: Speculative Store Bypass disabled via prctl and seccomp
# cat meltdown
Not affected

ARM64:

# cat spec_store_bypass
Mitigation: Speculative Store Bypass disabled via prctl and seccomp
# cat meltdown
Mitigation: PTI

RISC-V:

# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities
# ... No such file or directory

As SiFive RISC-V Core IP offerings are not affected by Meltdown and
Spectre, it can use the default weak function as below:

# cat spec_store_bypass
Not affected
# cat meltdown
Not affected
