Qualcomm Kryo 200-series Gold cores appear to have a derivative of an ARM Cortex A75 in them. Since A75 needs Spectre mitigation via firmware then the Kyro 300-series Gold cores also should need Spectre mitigation via firmware.

Unless devices with a Kryo 3XX gold core have a firmware that provides ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_3 (which seems unlikely at the time this patch is posted), this will make devices with these cores report that they are vulnerable to Spectre BHB with no mitigation in place. This patch will also cause them not to do a WARN splat at boot about an unknown CPU ID and to stop trying to do a "loop" mitigation for these cores which is (presumably) not reliable for them.

Fixes: 558c303c9734 ("arm64: Mitigate spectre style branch history side channels") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Douglas Anderson dianders@chromium.org --- I don't really have any good way to test this patch but it seems likely it's needed.

NOTE: presumably this patch won't actually do much on its own because (I believe) it requires a firmware update (one adding ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_3) to go with it.

Changes in v2: - Rebased / reworded QCOM_KRYO_3XX_GOLD patch
