[PATCH] arm64: turn off xgene branch prediction while in kernel space

Tue Jan 23 18:13:27 PST 2018


Aliasing attacks against CPU branch predictors can allow an attacker to
redirect speculative control flow on some CPUs and potentially divulge
information from one context to another.

This patch only supports for XGene processors.
