Mark Rutland 286c8ca924 arm64: errata: Add workaround for Arm errata 3194386 and 3312417 
[ Upstream commit 7187bb7d0b ]

Cortex-X4 and Neoverse-V3 suffer from errata whereby an MSR to the SSBS
special-purpose register does not affect subsequent speculative
instructions, permitting speculative store bypassing for a window of
time. This is described in their Software Developer Errata Notice (SDEN)
documents:

* Cortex-X4 SDEN v8.0, erratum 3194386:
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-2432808/0800/

* Neoverse-V3 SDEN v6.0, erratum 3312417:
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-2891958/0600/

To workaround these errata, it is necessary to place a speculation
barrier (SB) after MSR to the SSBS special-purpose register. This patch
adds the requisite SB after writes to SSBS within the kernel, and hides
the presence of SSBS from EL0 such that userspace software which cares
about SSBS will manipulate this via prctl(PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL, ...).

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
