[PATCH 4.19 104/114] arm64: Use firmware to detect CPUs that are not affected by Spectre-v2

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

 



From: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@xxxxxxx>

commit 517953c2c47f9c00a002f588ac856a5bc70cede3 upstream.

The SMCCC ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 service can indicate that although the
firmware knows about the Spectre-v2 mitigation, this particular
CPU is not vulnerable, and it is thus not necessary to call
the firmware on this CPU.

Let's use this information to our benefit.
