[PATCH] arm64: Explicitly set pstate.ssbs for el0 on kernel entry

From: Neeraj Upadhyay
Date: Tue Jul 09 2019 - 07:26:06 EST


For cpus which do not support pstate.ssbs feature, el0
might not retain spsr.ssbs. This is problematic, if this
task migrates to a cpu supporting this feature, thus
relying on its state to be correct. On kernel entry,
explicitly set spsr.ssbs, so that speculation is enabled
for el0, when this task migrates to a cpu supporting
ssbs feature. Restoring state at kernel entry ensures
that el0 ssbs state is always consistent while we are
in el1.

As alternatives are applied by boot cpu, at the end of smp
init, presence/absence of ssbs feature on boot cpu, is used
for deciding, whether the capability is uniformly provided.
