Mark Rutland b9bf53354e arm64: errata: Expand speculative SSBS workaround
[ Upstream commit 75b3c43eab ]

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 Cortex-X4 and Neoverse-V3, in commit:

  7187bb7d0b ("arm64: errata: Add workaround for Arm errata 3194386 and 3312417")

... as per 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/

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

* Cortex-A710 SDEN v19.0, errataum 3324338
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1775101/1900/?lang=en

* Cortex-A720 SDEN v11.0, erratum 3456091
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-2439421/1100/?lang=en

* Cortex-X2 SDEN v19.0, erratum 3324338
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1775100/1900/?lang=en

* Cortex-X3 SDEN v14.0, erratum 3324335
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-2055130/1400/?lang=en

* Cortex-X925 SDEN v8.0, erratum 3324334
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/109108/800/?lang=en

* Neoverse-N2 SDEN v17.0, erratum 3324339
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1982442/1700/?lang=en

* Neoverse-V2 SDEN v9.0, erratum 3324336
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-2332927/900/?lang=en

Note that due to shared design lineage, some CPUs share the same erratum
number.

Add these to the existing mitigation under CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_3194386.
As listing all of the erratum IDs in the runtime description would be
unwieldy, this is reduced to:

	"SSBS not fully self-synchronizing"

... matching the description of the errata in all of the SDENs.

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.
