From: James Morse <james.morse@arm.com> stable inclusion from stable-v4.19.268 commit 51febca41ae0333c29b4b12778f045a705d89370 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I69KBO CVE: NA -------------------------------- Both the Spectre-v2 and Spectre-BHB mitigations involve running a sequence immediately after exiting a guest, before any branches. In the stable kernels these sequences are built by copying templates into an empty vector slot. For Spectre-BHB, Cortex-A57 and A72 require the branchy loop with k=8. If Spectre-v2 needs mitigating at the same time, a firmware call to EL3 is needed. The work EL3 does at this point is also enough to mitigate Spectre-BHB. When enabling the Spectre-BHB mitigation, spectre_bhb_enable_mitigation() should check if a slot has already been allocated for Spectre-v2, meaning no work is needed for Spectre-BHB. This check was missed in the earlier backport, add it.
