commit 228a26b912287934789023b4132ba76065d9491c upstream.

Future CPUs may implement a clearbhb instruction that is sufficient
to mitigate SpectreBHB. CPUs that implement this instruction, but
not CSV2.3 must be affected by Spectre-BHB.

Add support to use this instruction as the BHB mitigation on CPUs
that support it. The instruction is in the hint space, so it will
be treated by a NOP as older CPUs.

<title>KVM: arm64: Add templates for BHB mitigation sequences</title>

KVM writes the Spectre-v2 mitigation template at the beginning of each
vector when a CPU requires a specific sequence to run.

Because the template is copied, it can not be modified by the alternatives
at runtime. As the KVM template code is intertwined with the bp-hardening
callbacks, all templates must have a bp-hardening callback.

Add templates for calling ARCH_WORKAROUND_3 and one for each value of K
in the brancy-loop. Identify these sequences by a new parameter
template_start, and add a copy of install_bp_hardening_cb() that is able to
install them.

commit 3a0a397ff5ff8b56ca9f7908b75dee6bf0b5fabb upstream.

Now that we've standardised on SMCCC v1.1 to perform the branch
prediction invalidation, let's drop the previous band-aid.
If vendors haven't updated their firmware to do SMCCC 1.1, they
haven't updated PSCI either, so we don't loose anything.

<title>arm64: Implement branch predictor hardening for affected Cortex-A CPUs</title>

From: Will Deacon &lt;will.deacon@arm.com&gt;

commit aa6acde65e03186b5add8151e1ffe36c3c62639b upstream.

Cortex-A57, A72, A73 and A75 are susceptible to branch predictor aliasing
and can theoretically be attacked by malicious code.

This patch implements a PSCI-based mitigation for these CPUs when available.
The call into firmware will invalidate the branch predictor state, preventing
any malicious entries from affecting other victim contexts.

From: Will Deacon &lt;will.deacon@arm.com&gt;

commit 0f15adbb2861ce6f75ccfc5a92b19eae0ef327d0 upstream.

Aliasing attacks against CPU branch predictors can allow an attacker to
redirect speculative control flow on some CPUs and potentially divulge
information from one context to another.

This patch adds initial skeleton code behind a new Kconfig option to
enable implementation-specific mitigations against these attacks for
CPUs that are affected.
