Subject: [Variant 2/Spectre-v2] arm64: Implement branch predictor hardening for affected Cortex-A CPUs

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>


Commit aa6acde65e03 upstream.

Cortex-A57, A72, A73 and A75 are susceptible to branch predictor aliasing
and can theoretically be attacked by malicious code.

This patch implements a PSCI-based mitigation for these CPUs when available.
The call into firmware will invalidate the branch predictor state, preventing
any malicious entries from affecting other victim contexts.
