For cpus which do not support pstate.ssbs feature, el0
might not retain spsr.ssbs. This is problematic, if this
task migrates to a cpu supporting this feature, thus
relying on its state to be correct. On kernel entry,
explicitly set spsr.ssbs, so that speculation is enabled
for el0, when this task migrates to a cpu supporting
ssbs feature. Restoring state at kernel entry ensures
that el0 ssbs state is always consistent while we are
in el1.

As alternatives are applied by boot cpu, at the end of smp
init, presence/absence of ssbs feature on boot cpu, is used
for deciding, whether the capability is uniformly provided.
I've seen the same issue, but went for a slightly different
approach, see below.

Although this is in keeping with the rest of entry.S (perfectly
unreadable ;-), I think we can do something a bit simpler, that
doesn't rely on patching. Also, this doesn't seem to take the
SSBD options such as ARM64_SSBD_FORCE_ENABLE into account.
arm64_restore_ssbs_state has a check for ARM64_SSBD_FORCE_ENABLE,

does that look wrong?
No, I just focused on the rest of the asm code and missed it, apologies.

How about the patch below?
Looks good; was just going to mention PF_KTHREAD check, but Mark R. has
already

given detailed information about it.
Yup, well spotted. I'll respin it shortly and we can then work out
whether that's really a better approach.

Did you get chance to recheck it?


Thanks

Neeraj
