From c2ca3fdfb916dc8baecea88490df20de4244a7e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nishanth Menon Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2018 15:24:09 -0500 Subject: ARM: Introduce ability to enable invalidate of BTB with ICIALLU on Cortex-A15 for CVE-2017-5715 As recommended by Arm in [1], ACTLR[0] (Enable invalidates of BTB) needs to be set[2] for BTB to be invalidated on ICIALLU. This needs to be done unconditionally for Cortex-A15 processors. Provide a config option for platforms to enable this option based on impact analysis for products. NOTE: This patch in itself is NOT the final solution, this requires: a) Implementation of v7_arch_cp15_set_acr on SoCs which may not provide direct access to ACR register. b) Operating Systems such as Linux to provide adequate workaround in the right locations. c) This workaround applies to only the boot processor. It is important to apply workaround as necessary (context-save-restore) around low power context loss OR additional processors as necessary in either firmware support OR elsewhere in OS.
