[PATCH v2 2/6] arm64: errata: Add KRYO 2XX/3XX/4XX silver cores to Spectre safe list

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

 



The 2XX cores appear to be based on ARM Cortex A53. The 3XX and 4XX
cores appear to be based on ARM Cortex A55. Both of those cores appear
to be "safe" from a Spectre point of view. While it would be nice to
get confirmation from Qualcomm, it seems hard to believe that they
made big enough changes to these cores to affect the Spectre BHB
vulnerability status. Add them to the safe list.
