Subject: [PATCH] mx5: Implement Spectre v2 workaround for Cortex-A8
Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2018 19:29:38 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1531348178-4168-1-git-send-email-festevam@gmail.com> (raw)

Since 4.18-rc1 kernel the following warning is seen on i.MX51 and
i.MX53:
    
CPU0: Spectre v2: firmware did not set auxiliary control register IBE bit, system vulnerable
    
Implement the suggested workaround by setting the IBE bit in the
auxiliary control register.

Based on commit 7b37a9c732bf ("ARM: Introduce ability to enable ACR::IBE
on Cortex-A8 for CVE-2017-5715") from U-Boot.
    
With this patch applied the kernel now reports:
    
CPU0: Spectre v2: using BPIALL workaround

Tested on a imx51 babbage.
