mainline inclusion
from mainline-v4.20-rc1
commit d71be2b6
category: feature
bugzilla: 20806
CVE: NA

-------------------------------------------------

Armv8.5 introduces a new PSTATE bit known as Speculative Store Bypass
Safe (SSBS) which can be used as a mitigation against Spectre variant 4.

Additionally, a CPU may provide instructions to manipulate PSTATE.SSBS
directly, so that userspace can toggle the SSBS control without trapping
to the kernel.

This patch probes for the existence of SSBS and advertise the new instructions
to userspace if they exist.
