[PATCH v5 10/15] ARM: spectre-v2: warn about incorrect context switching functions

From: Russell King <hidden>
Date: 2018-05-29 14:55:01
Also in: kvmarm
Subsystem: arm port, the rest · Maintainers: Russell King, Linus Torvalds

Warn at error level if the context switching function is not what we
are expecting.  This can happen with big.Little systems, which we
currently do not support.
