As for Spectre variant-2, we rely on SMCCC 1.1 to provide the discovery
mechanism for detecting the SSBD mitigation.

A new capability is also allocated for that purpose, and a config
option.

This is part of XSA-263.

I would add a reference to spectre v4. What do you think of:

  This enables the mitigation of Spectre v4 attacks based on bypassing
  of previous memory stores by speculative loads.

It is becoming more common to have per-cpu capabilities and workarounds
(or at least per MPIDR). Instead of adding this add-hoc variable, should
we make cpu_hwcaps per-cpu, then implement this check with
cpus_have_cap (that would become per-cpu as well)?

It looks like the code would be simpler.

Well, the real name is SSBD (Speculative Store Bypass Disable). AFAIK, 
Spectre only refers to variant 1 and 2 so far. This one has no fancy 
name and the specifications is using SSBD.

Really? This is the first place where we need an ad-hoc boolean per-CPU. 
For the hardening branch predictor, we have to store the vector pointer.

I don't see any benefits for that. Most of the workaround/features are 
platform wide because they either use alternative or set/clear a bit in 
the system registers.

Furthermore, as I wrote above the declaration, this is going to be used 
in assembly code and we need something that can be tested in the less 
possible number of instructions because The smccc function 
ARM_ARCH_WORKAROUND_2 is going to be called very often.

Lastly, after the next patch, ssbd_callback_required and ARM_SSBD have 
different meaning. The former indicates that runtime mitigation is 
required, while the latter just indicate that the mitigation is present 
(either runtime or forced enable).

Googling for Spectre Variant 4 returns twice as many results as Googling
for Speculative Store Bypass Disable. It doesn't matter what is the
official name for the security issue, I think we need to include a
reference to the most common name for it.

You are right. I was following up from the big.LITTLE series where not
all CPUs need the same workaround. On the call you pointed out that the
cpufeature framework is mostly to enable specific code workarounds in
Xen for some erratas. These dynamic code fixes have to be enabled on all
cores regardless on whether they are affected because they rely on
dynamic code patching. I see your point, and I agree we should keep
cpufeature as-is for now. I think I have a better suggestion in my
reply to patch #5.

"Speculative Store Bypass" is the agreed vendor-neutral name for the
issue.  This is why all the mitigation is SSBD, where the D on the end
is Disable.

Google SP4 is a common name (but only covers one reporter of the issue),
whereas Spectre has nothing to do with this issue, and is definitely
wrong to use.

If in doubt, use SSB(D).

I think we should definitely call it SSBD, I was just saying that it
might be helpful to include also "Variant 4" in the description, such
as:

 This is also known as Variant 4.

to help users find the right results on Google. Anyway, given that you
are certainly better informed than me about it, I won't insist on this
point, I am OK without mentioning "Variant 4".

There are enough hit with "Speculative Store Bypass Disable" for a user 
to find what's going on.

I would prefer to not mention it in the Kconfig.
