[PATCH v5 05/10] arm64: Use firmware to detect CPUs that are not affected by Spectre-v2
From: Jeremy Linton <hidden>
Date: 2019-02-27 01:06:33
Also in:
lkml
Subsystem:
arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), the rest · Maintainers:
Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Linus Torvalds
From: Marc Zyngier <redacted> The SMCCC ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 service can indicate that although the firmware knows about the Spectre-v2 mitigation, this particular CPU is not vulnerable, and it is thus not necessary to call the firmware on this CPU. Let's use this information to our benefit.
