As mentioned elsewhere, I don't think this is a good idea - if the secure world is not implementing the Spectre workarounds, then the _system_ is exploitable. If the secure world is implementing the spectre workarounds, it will already have enabled the IBE bit (which is r/w from secure, read only from non-secure.) So, basically, lack of the IBE bit being set is basically telling the kernel that it's running on a vulnerable platform _even if the kernel were to set it through some means_. > > Signed-off-by: Nishanth Menon <nm@xxxxxx> > --- > > Based on: next-20180612 + > Uboot series posted: https://marc.info/?l=u-boot&m=152883522011042&w=2 > > With Just u-boot changes alone: OMAP5-uevm: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/9yDM22bJ6n/ > with kernel changes added on: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/gXPBGGYRPX/ > > arch/arm/mach-omap2/omap-smp.c | 28 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > 1 file changed, 28 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-omap2/omap-smp.c b/arch/arm/mach-omap2/omap-smp.c > index 69df3620eca5..28fc80ea675b 100644 > --- a/arch/arm/mach-omap2/omap-smp.c > +++ b/arch/arm/mach-omap2/omap-smp.c > @@ -109,6 +109,32 @@ void omap5_erratum_workaround_801819(void) > static inline void omap5_erratum_workaround_801819(void) { } > #endif > > +#ifdef CONFIG_HARDEN_BRANCH_PREDICTOR > +static void omap5_harden_predictor(void) > +{ > + u32 acr, acr_mask; > + > + asm volatile ("mrc p15, 0, %0, c1, c0, 1" : "=r" (acr)); > + > + /* > + * BIT(0) - Disables streaming.
