arm64: ssbd: Add support for PSTATE.SSBS rather than trapping to EL3

2019-10-11T16:21:30Z

[ Upstream commit 8f04e8e6e29c93421a95b61cad62e3918425eac7 ] On CPUs with support for PSTATE.SSBS, the kernel can toggle the SSBD state without needing to call into firmware. This patch hooks into the existing SSBD infrastructure so that SSBS is used on CPUs that support it, but it's all made horribly complicated by the very real possibility of big/little systems that don't uniformly provide the new capability.

arm64: ssbd: explicitly depend on

2019-06-25T03:36:00Z

commit adeaa21a4b6954e878f3f7d1c5659ed9c1fe567a upstream. Fix ssbd.c which depends implicitly on asm/ptrace.h including linux/prctl.h (through for example linux/compat.h, then linux/time.h, linux/seqlock.h, linux/spinlock.h and linux/irqflags.h), and uses PR_SPEC* defines. This is an issue since we'll soon be removing the include from asm/ptrace.h.

arm64: ssbd: Add prctl interface for per-thread mitigation

2018-05-31T17:00:52Z

If running on a system that performs dynamic SSBD mitigation, allow userspace to request the mitigation for itself. This is implemented as a prctl call, allowing the mitigation to be enabled or disabled at will for this particular thread.
