A number of Arm Ltd CPUs suffer from errata whereby an MSR to the SSBS special-purpose register does not affect subsequent speculative instructions, permitting speculative store bypassing for a window of time. We worked around this for a number of CPUs in commits: *7187bb7d0b("arm64: errata: Add workaround for Arm errata 3194386 and 3312417") *75b3c43eab("arm64: errata: Expand speculative SSBS workaround") Since then, similar errata have been published for a number of other Arm Ltd CPUs, for which the same mitigation is sufficient. This is described in their respective Software Developer Errata Notice (SDEN) documents: * Cortex-A76 (MP052) SDEN v31.0, erratum 3324349 https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-885749/3100/ * Cortex-A77 (MP074) SDEN v19.0, erratum 3324348 https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1152370/1900/ * Cortex-A78 (MP102) SDEN v21.0, erratum 3324344 https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1401784/2100/ * Cortex-A78C (MP138) SDEN v16.0, erratum 3324346 https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1707916/1600/ * Cortex-A78C (MP154) SDEN v10.0, erratum 3324347 https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-2004089/1000/ * Cortex-A725 (MP190) SDEN v5.0, erratum 3456106 https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-2832921/0500/ * Cortex-X1 (MP077) SDEN v21.0, erratum 3324344 https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1401782/2100/ * Cortex-X1C (MP136) SDEN v16.0, erratum 3324346 https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1707914/1600/ * Neoverse-N1 (MP050) SDEN v32.0, erratum 3324349 https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-885747/3200/ * Neoverse-V1 (MP076) SDEN v19.0, erratum 3324341 https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1401781/1900/ Note that due to the manner in which Arm develops IP and tracks errata, some CPUs share a common erratum number and some CPUs have multiple erratum numbers for the same HW issue. On parts without SB, it is necessary to use ISB for the workaround. The spec_bar() macro used in the mitigation will expand to a "DSB SY; ISB" sequence in this case, which is sufficient on all affected parts. Enable the existing mitigation by adding the relevant MIDRs to erratum_spec_ssbs_list. The list is sorted alphanumerically (involving moving Neoverse-V3 after Neoverse-V2) so that this is easy to audit and potentially extend again in future. The Kconfig text is also updated to clarify the set of affected parts and the mitigation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
