From 9dd9614f5476687abbff8d4b12cd08ae70d7c2ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marc Zyngier Date: Tue, 29 May 2018 13:11:13 +0100 Subject: arm64: ssbd: Introduce thread flag to control userspace mitigation In order to allow userspace to be mitigated on demand, let's introduce a new thread flag that prevents the mitigation from being turned off when exiting to userspace, and doesn't turn it on on entry into the kernel (with the assumption that the mitigation is always enabled in the kernel itself). This will be used by a prctl interface introduced in a later patch.
