[RFC PATCH] riscv: Enable generic CPU vulnerabilites support
Posted by Jinjie Ruan 1 year, 5 months ago
Currently x86, ARM and ARM64 support generic CPU vulnerabilites, but
RISC-V not, such as:

	# cd /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/
x86:
	# cat spec_store_bypass
		Mitigation: Speculative Store Bypass disabled via prctl and seccomp
	# cat meltdown
		Not affected

ARM64:

	# cat spec_store_bypass
		Mitigation: Speculative Store Bypass disabled via prctl and seccomp
	# cat meltdown
		Mitigation: PTI

RISC-V:

	# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities
	# ... No such file or directory

As SiFive RISC-V Core IP offerings are not affected by Meltdown and
Spectre, it can use the default weak function as below:

	# cat spec_store_bypass
		Not affected
	# cat meltdown
		Not affected

Thanks.  This is an RFC, but I'm just going to pick it up on for-next: 
we had a recent round of RISC-V vulnerabilities crop up, so it's time to 
start tracking those for users.

It's queued up for now, it'll show up on for-next proper assumin it 
passes the tests.

Thanks!
