Isn't ARM already using CPU_SPECTRE for selecting things:
config HARDEN_BRANCH_PREDICTOR
bool "Harden the branch predictor against aliasing attacks" if EXPERT
depends on CPU_SPECTRE
This was the whole motivation for doing the same for x86.
Adding a condition for all architectures is also okay, but its going to
a little messier:
config BPF_UNPRIV_DEFAULT_OFF
default y if X86 || ARM || ...
This approach would make sense if architectures wants to explicitly
select the defaults irrespective of architecture being affected by
spectre.
If that's the case I will change the BPF_UNPRIV_DEFAULT_OFF default to
depend on architecture. I hope BPF maintainer, Daniel is okay with it?
