Re: [PATCH v2 2/3] powerpc/fsl: Add barrier_nospec implementation for NXP PowerPC Book3E

Hi Diana,

A few comments below ...

Diana Craciun [off-list ref] writes:
Implement the barrier_nospec as a isync;sync instruction sequence.
The implementation uses the infrastructure built for BOOK3S 64.
Do you have any details on why that sequence functions as an effective
barrier on your chips?

In a lot of places we have eg:

 +#if defined(CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64) || defined(CONFIG_PPC_FSL_BOOK3E)

Can you please add a Kconfig symbol to capture that. eg.

config PPC_NOSPEC
	bool
        default y
	depends on PPC_BOOK3S_64 || PPC_FSL_BOOK3E


And then use that everywhere.

Why are you making that book3s specific?

By doing that you then can't use the existing versions of
setup_barrier_nospec() and cpu_show_spectre_v1/v2().

eg. that is identical to the existing version except for the feature check:

	enable = security_ftr_enabled(SEC_FTR_FAVOUR_SECURITY) &&
		 security_ftr_enabled(SEC_FTR_BNDS_CHK_SPEC_BAR);


Both those bits are enabled by default, so you shouldn't need to elide
that check.

So basically you should be able to use the existing
setup_barrier_nospec() if you just remove the ifdef around
powerpc_security_features. Or am I missing something?

Can you call it from ppc_md->setup_arch() like the other platforms?

Failing that we could put it in setup_arch() after the call to
ppc_md->setup_arch(), so we can share it with powernv/pseries.

It's a bit unfortunate that we end up with two versions of that, which
are 80% the same. But merging them without ugly ifdefs would require a
bit more refactoring. So I guess it's OK for now.
