[PATCH 23/45] arm64: Add skeleton to harden the branch predictor against aliasing attacks

Alex Shi alex.shi at linaro.org
Thu Mar 1 04:54:00 PST 2018


From: Will Deacon <will.deacon at arm.com>

commit 0f15adbb2861 upstream.

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 adds initial skeleton code behind a new Kconfig option to
enable implementation-specific mitigations against these attacks for
CPUs that are affected.
