Subject: [PATCH] ARM: spectre-v2: Try to set IBE bit for Cortex-A15 and Brahma-B15
Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2018 15:58:02 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180607225804.28771-1-f.fainelli@gmail.com> (raw)
Per the ARM reference manual for the Cortex-A15, The ACTLR:
Is a read/write register.
Common to the Secure and Non-secure states.
Is only accessible from PL1 or higher, with access rights that depend
on the mode:
* Read/write in Secure PL1 modes.
* Read-only and write-ignored in Non-secure PL1 and PL2 modes
if NSACR.NS_SMP is 0.
* Read/write in Non-secure PL1 and PL2 modes if NSACR.NS_SMP
is 1. In this case, all bits are write-ignored except for the SMP bit.
We can attempt to set this bit from within the kernel, which helps
avoiding firmware side modifications to set the IBE bit when that is
impractical. We do this within __v7_ca15mp_setup and __v7_b15mp_setup
because by then we already took those labels because the processors we
run on do match.
