Qualcomm Kryo 200-series Gold cores appear to have a derivative of an ARM Cortex A73 in them. Since A73 needs Spectre mitigation then the Kyro 200-series Gold cores also should need Spectre mitigation. Signed-off-by: Douglas Anderson <dianders@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- I don't really have any good way to test this patch but it seems likely it's needed. If nothing else the claim is that that Qualcomm Kyro 280 CPU is vulnerable [1] but I don't see any mitigations in the kernel for it. NOTE: presumably this patch won't actually do much on its own because (I believe) it requires a firmware update to go with it.
