[PATCH] arm64: Add support for HIP09 Spectre-BHB mitigation

Jinqian Yang yangjinqian1 at huawei.com
Tue Mar 25 07:19:00 PDT 2025


The HIP09 processor is vulnerable to the Spectre-BHB (Branch History
Buffer) attack, which can be exploited to leak information through
branch prediction side channels. This commit adds the MIDR of HIP09
to the list for software mitigation.
