[PATCH v3 1/3] arm64: errata: Assume that unknown CPUs _are_ vulnerable to Spectre BHB - Linux-stable-mirror

19 Dec 2024

The code for detecting CPUs that are vulnerable to Spectre BHB was
based on a hardcoded list of CPU IDs that were known to be affected.
Unfortunately, the list mostly only contained the IDs of standard ARM
cores. The IDs for many cores that are minor variants of the standard
ARM cores (like many Qualcomm Kyro CPUs) weren't listed. This led the
code to assume that those variants were not affected.
Flip the code on its head and instead assume that a core is vulnerable
if it doesn't have CSV2_3 but is unrecognized as being safe. This
involves creating a "Spectre BHB safe" list.
As of right now, the only CPU IDs added to the "Spectre BHB safe" list
are ARM Cortex A35, A53, A55, A510, and A520. This list was created by
looking for cores that weren't listed in ARM's list [1] as per review
feedback on v2 of this patch [2].
NOTE: this patch will not actually _mitigate_ anyone, it will simply
cause them to report themselves as vulnerable. If any cores in the
system are reported as vulnerable but not mitigated then the whole
system will be reported as vulnerable though the system will attempt
to mitigate with the information it has about the known cores.

Changes in v3:
- Don't guess the mitigation; just report unknown cores as vulnerable.
- Restructure the code since is_spectre_bhb_affected() defaults to true
Changes in v2:
- New
