Mark Rutland 745eec68a3 arm64: errata: Expand speculative SSBS workaround (again) 
[ Upstream commit adeec61a47 ]

A number of Arm Ltd CPUs 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.

We worked around this for a number of CPUs in commits:

* 7187bb7d0b ("arm64: errata: Add workaround for Arm errata 3194386 and 3312417")
* 75b3c43eab ("arm64: errata: Expand speculative SSBS workaround")

Since then, similar errata have been published for a number of other Arm
Ltd CPUs, for which the same mitigation is sufficient. This is described
in their respective Software Developer Errata Notice (SDEN) documents:

* Cortex-A76 (MP052) SDEN v31.0, erratum 3324349
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-885749/3100/

* Cortex-A77 (MP074) SDEN v19.0, erratum 3324348
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1152370/1900/

* Cortex-A78 (MP102) SDEN v21.0, erratum 3324344
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1401784/2100/

* Cortex-A78C (MP138) SDEN v16.0, erratum 3324346
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1707916/1600/

* Cortex-A78C (MP154) SDEN v10.0, erratum 3324347
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-2004089/1000/

* Cortex-A725 (MP190) SDEN v5.0, erratum 3456106
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-2832921/0500/

* Cortex-X1 (MP077) SDEN v21.0, erratum 3324344
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1401782/2100/

* Cortex-X1C (MP136) SDEN v16.0, erratum 3324346
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1707914/1600/

* Neoverse-N1 (MP050) SDEN v32.0, erratum 3324349
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-885747/3200/

* Neoverse-V1 (MP076) SDEN v19.0, erratum 3324341
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1401781/1900/

Note that due to the manner in which Arm develops IP and tracks errata,
some CPUs share a common erratum number and some CPUs have multiple
erratum numbers for the same HW issue.

On parts without SB, it is necessary to use ISB for the workaround. The
spec_bar() macro used in the mitigation will expand to a "DSB SY; ISB"
sequence in this case, which is sufficient on all affected parts.

Enable the existing mitigation by adding the relevant MIDRs to
erratum_spec_ssbs_list. The list is sorted alphanumerically (involving
moving Neoverse-V3 after Neoverse-V2) so that this is easy to audit and
potentially extend again in future. The Kconfig text is also updated to
clarify the set of affected parts and the mitigation.

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.
