Commit Message

Julien Grall June 5, 2018, 3:22 p.m. UTC
On a system where the firmware implements ARCH_WORKAROUND_2, it may be
useful to either permanently enable or disable the workaround for cases
where the user decides that they'd rather not get a trap overhead, and
keep the mitigation permanently on or off instead of switching it on
exception entry/exit. In any case, default to mitigation being enabled.

The new command line option is implemented as list of one option to
follow x86 option and also allow to extend it more easily in the future.

Note that for convenience, the full implemention of the workaround is
done in the .matches callback.

Lastly, a accessor is provided to know the state of the mitigation.

After this patch, there are 3 methods complementing each other to find the
state of the mitigation:
    - The capability ARM_SSBD indicates the platform is affected by the
      vulnerability. This will also return false if the user decide to force
      disabled the mitigation (spec-ctrl="ssbd=force-disable"). The
      capability is useful for putting shortcut in place using alternative.
    - ssbd_state indicates the global state of the mitigation (e.g
      unknown, force enable...). The global state is required to report
      the state to a guest.
    - The per-cpu ssbd_callback_required indicates whether a pCPU
      requires to call the SMC. This allows to shortcut SMC call
      and save an entry/exit to EL3.

This is part of XSA-263.

It just belongs to the previous patch. This is due to the code 
reshuffling you requested.
