powerpc/security/book3s64: Report L1TF status in sysfs
[ Upstream commit 8e6b6da91ac9b9ec5a925b6cb13f287a54bd547d ]
Some PowerPC CPUs are vulnerable to L1TF to the same extent as to
Meltdown. It is also mitigated by flushing the L1D on privilege
transition.
Currently the sysfs gives a false negative on L1TF on CPUs that I
verified to be vulnerable, a Power9 Talos II Boston 004e 1202, PowerNV
T2P9D01.
