[PATCH 6.6.y 0/13] arm64: errata: Speculative SSBS workaround

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

 



Hi,

This series is a v6.6-only backport (based on v6.6.44) of the upstream
workaround for SSBS errata on Arm Ltd CPUs, as affected parts are likely
to be used with stable kernels. This does not apply to earlier stable
trees, which will receive a separate backport.

The errata mean that an MSR to the SSBS special-purpose register does not
affect subsequent speculative instructions, permitting speculative store
bypassing for a window of time.

The upstream support was original posted as:

* https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20240508081400.235362-1-mark.rutland@xxxxxxx/
  "arm64: errata: Add workaround for Arm errata 3194386 and 3312417"
  Present in v6.10

* https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20240603111812.1514101-1-mark.rutland@xxxxxxx/
  "arm64: errata: Expand speculative SSBS workaround"
  Present in v6.11-rc1

* https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20240801101803.1982459-1-mark.rutland@xxxxxxx/
  "arm64: errata: Expand speculative SSBS workaround (again)"
  Present in v6.11-rc2

This backport applies the patches which are not present in v6.6.y, and
as prerequisites backports the addition of the Neoverse-V2 MIDR values
and the restoration of the spec_bar() macro.

I have tested the backport (when applied to v6.6.44), ensuring that the
detection logic works and that the HWCAP and string in /proc/cpuinfo are
both hidden when the relevant errata are detected.
