commit 679db70801da9fda91d26caf13bf5b5ccc74e8e8 upstream
Some CPUs can speculate past an ERET instruction and potentially perform
speculative accesses to memory before processing the exception return.
Since the register state is often controlled by a lower privilege level
at the point of an ERET, this could potentially be used as part of a
side-channel attack.
This patch emits an SB sequence after each ERET so that speculation is
held up on exception return.

Changes in v2:
- added missing hunk in hyp/entry.S per Will's feedback
What about 4.19.y and 4.14.y trees? I can't take something for 4.9.y
and then have a regression if someone moves to a newer release, right?
Sure, send you candidates for 4.14 and 4.19.
Greg, did you have a chance to queue those changes for 4.9, 4.14 and 4.19?

Nope, I was waiting for Will's "ack" for these.
OK, Will, can you review those? Thanks
Will, can you please review those patches?
