From 532d581583f25d4c297c721700f74b913f8cf37b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2020 23:56:12 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: Treat SSBS as a non-strict system feature If all CPUs discovered during boot have SSBS, then spectre-v4 will be considered to be "mitigated". However, we still allow late CPUs without SSBS to be onlined, albeit with a "SANITY CHECK" warning. This is problematic for userspace because it means that the system can quietly transition to "Vulnerable" at runtime. Avoid this by treating SSBS as a non-strict system feature: if all of the CPUs discovered during boot have SSBS, then late arriving secondaries better have it as well.
