[PATCH 4.14 049/107] powerpc/fsl: Flush the branch predictor at each kernel entry (32 bit)
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Apr 01 2019 - 13:24:41 EST
4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Diana Craciun <diana.craciun@xxxxxxx>
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.
