[PATCH] ARM: Implement Clang's SLS mitigation
From: Jian Cai <hidden>
Date: 2021-02-12 05:16:08
Also in:
linux-arm-kernel, lkml
Subsystem:
arm port, arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), kernel hardening (not covered by other areas), security subsystem, the rest · Maintainers:
Russell King, Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Kees Cook, Paul Moore, James Morris, "Serge E. Hallyn", Linus Torvalds
This patch adds a config CONFIG_HARDEN_SLS_ALL that can be used to turn on -mharden-sls=all, which mitigates the straight-line speculation vulnerability, or more commonly known as Spectre, Meldown. Notice -mharden-sls= has other options as below, and this config turns on the strongest option. all: enable all mitigations against Straight Line Speculation that are implemented. none: disable all mitigations against Straight Line Speculation. retbr: enable the mitigation against Straight Line Speculation for RET and BR instructions. blr: enable the mitigation against Straight Line Speculation for BLR instructions.
