Well while we're waiting to figure out what all needs to be fixed, here's what I'd do meanwhile: 1. Make sure the bootloader sets IBE bit 2. Make sure you have CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_430973=y 3. Apply Marc Zyngier's patches from thread "[PATCH v4 0/6] 32bit ARM branch predictor hardening", but note that these are still being discussed 4. Update kernel when patches that have been validated against test cases get merged Regards, Tony -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
