[PATCH v4.4 22/45] arm64: entry: Apply BP hardening for suspicious interrupts from EL0

From: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org>
Date: 2019-06-14 03:12:53
Also in: stable
Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Linus Torvalds

From: Will Deacon <redacted>

commit 30d88c0e3ace625a92eead9ca0ad94093a8f59fe upstream.

It is possible to take an IRQ from EL0 following a branch to a kernel
address in such a way that the IRQ is prioritised over the instruction
abort. Whilst an attacker would need to get the stars to align here,
it might be sufficient with enough calibration so perform BP hardening
in the rare case that we see a kernel address in the ELR when handling
an IRQ from EL0.
