[PATCH v4.4 28/45] arm64: Branch predictor hardening for Cavium ThunderX2

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Jayachandran C <jnair@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit f3d795d9b360523beca6d13ba64c2c532f601149 upstream.

Use PSCI based mitigation for speculative execution attacks targeting
the branch predictor. We use the same mechanism as the one used for
Cortex-A CPUs, we expect the PSCI version call to have a side effect
of clearing the BTBs.
