Fri Feb 12 00:14:58 EST 2021
This patch adds a config CONFIG_HARDEN_SLS_ALL that can be used to turn
on -mharden-sls=all, which mitigates the straight-line speculation
vulnerability, or more commonly known as Spectre, Meldown.
Notice -mharden-sls= has other options as below, and this config turns
on the strongest option.
all: enable all mitigations against Straight Line Speculation that are implemented.
none: disable all mitigations against Straight Line Speculation.
retbr: enable the mitigation against Straight Line Speculation for RET and BR instructions.
blr: enable the mitigation against Straight Line Speculation for BLR instructions.
