Subject: powerpc/fsl: Flush the branch predictor at each kernel entry (32 bit)
To: sta...@vger.kernel.org, gre...@linuxfoundation.org
Cc: linuxppc-...@ozlabs.org, m...@ellerman.id.au, Diana Craciun

Message-ID: <1556552948-24957-5-git-send-email-diana.crac...@nxp.com>
From: Diana Craciun <diana.crac...@nxp.com>
commit 7fef436295bf6c05effe682c8797dfcb0deb112a upstream.
In order to protect against speculation attacks on
indirect branches, the branch predictor is flushed at
kernel entry to protect for the following situations:
- userspace process attacking another userspace process
- userspace process attacking the kernel
Basically when the privillege level change (i.e.the kernel
is entered), the branch predictor state is flushed.
