└─>Cortex-*/Neoverse-*: workaround for MSR SSBS not self-synchronizing
In linux kernel since version 4.19.318 (release Date: 2024-07-18)
This option adds the workaround for the following errata:
* ARM Cortex-A76 erratum 3324349
* ARM Cortex-A77 erratum 3324348
* ARM Cortex-A78 erratum 3324344
* ARM Cortex-A78C erratum 3324346
* ARM Cortex-A78C erratum 3324347
* ARM Cortex-A710 erratam 3324338
* ARM Cortex-A715 errartum 3456084
* ARM Cortex-A720 erratum 3456091
* ARM Cortex-A725 erratum 3456106
* ARM Cortex-X1 erratum 3324344
* ARM Cortex-X1C erratum 3324346
* ARM Cortex-X2 erratum 3324338
* ARM Cortex-X3 erratum 3324335
* ARM Cortex-X4 erratum 3194386
* ARM Cortex-X925 erratum 3324334
* ARM Neoverse-N1 erratum 3324349
* ARM Neoverse N2 erratum 3324339
* ARM Neoverse-N3 erratum 3456111
* ARM Neoverse-V1 erratum 3324341
* ARM Neoverse V2 erratum 3324336
* ARM Neoverse-V3 erratum 3312417
On affected cores "MSR SSBS, #0" instructions may not affect
subsequent speculative instructions, which may permit unexepected
speculative store bypassing.
Work around this problem by placing a Speculation Barrier (SB) or
Instruction Synchronization Barrier (ISB) after kernel changes to
SSBS. The presence of the SSBS special-purpose register is hidden
from hwcaps and EL0 reads of ID_AA64PFR1_EL1, such that userspace
will use the PR_SPEC_STORE_BYPASS prctl to change SSBS.
If unsure, say Y.
