+ [HW] Control Speculative Store Bypass (SSB) Disable mitigation
+ (Speculative Store Bypass vulnerability)
+
+ Certain CPUs are vulnerable to an exploit against a
+ a common industry wide performance optimization known
+ as "Speculative Store Bypass" in which recent stores
+ to the same memory location may not be observed by
+ later loads during speculative execution. The idea
+ is that such stores are unlikely and that they can
+ be detected prior to instruction retirement at the
+ end of a particular speculation execution window.
+
+ In vulnerable processors, the speculatively forwarded
+ store can be used in a cache side channel attack, for
+ example to read memory to which the attacker does not
+ directly have access (e.g. inside sandboxed code).
+
+ This parameter controls whether the Speculative Store
+ Bypass optimization is used.
+
+ on - Unconditionally disable Speculative Store Bypass
+ off - Unconditionally enable Speculative Store Bypass
+ auto - Kernel detects whether the CPU model contains an
+ implementation of Speculative Store Bypass and
+ picks the most appropriate mitigation. If the
+ CPU is not vulnerable, "off" is selected. If the
+ CPU is vulnerable the default mitigation is
+ architecture and Kconfig dependent. See below.
+ prctl - Control Speculative Store Bypass per thread
+ via prctl. Speculative Store Bypass is enabled
+ for a process by default. The state of the control
+ is inherited on fork.
+ seccomp - Same as "prctl" above, but all seccomp threads
+ will disable SSB unless they explicitly opt out.
+
+ Not specifying this option is equivalent to
+ spec_store_bypass_disable=auto.

+===================
+Speculation Control
+===================
+
+Quite some CPUs have speculation-related misfeatures which are in
+fact vulnerabilities causing data leaks in various forms even across
+privilege domains.
+
+The kernel provides mitigation for such vulnerabilities in various
+forms. Some of these mitigations are compile-time configurable and some
+can be supplied on the kernel command line.
+
+There is also a class of mitigations which are very expensive, but they can
+be restricted to a certain set of processes or tasks in controlled
+environments. The mechanism to control these mitigations is via
+:manpage:`prctl(2)`.
+
+There are two prctl options which are related to this:
+
+ * PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL
+
+ * PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL
+
+PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL
+-----------------------
+
+PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL returns the state of the speculation misfeature
+which is selected with arg2 of prctl(2). The return value uses bits 0-3 with
+the following meaning:
+
+==== ===================== ===================================================
+Bit Define Description
+==== ===================== ===================================================
+0 PR_SPEC_PRCTL Mitigation can be controlled per task by
+ PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL.
+1 PR_SPEC_ENABLE The speculation feature is enabled, mitigation is
+ disabled.
+2 PR_SPEC_DISABLE The speculation feature is disabled, mitigation is
+ enabled.
+3 PR_SPEC_FORCE_DISABLE Same as PR_SPEC_DISABLE, but cannot be undone. A
+ subsequent prctl(..., PR_SPEC_ENABLE) will fail.
+==== ===================== ===================================================
+
+If all bits are 0 the CPU is not affected by the speculation misfeature.
+
+If PR_SPEC_PRCTL is set, then the per-task control of the mitigation is
+available. If not set, prctl(PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL) for the speculation
+misfeature will fail.
+
+PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL
+-----------------------
+
+PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL allows to control the speculation misfeature, which
+is selected by arg2 of :manpage:`prctl(2)` per task. arg3 is used to hand
+in the control value, i.e. either PR_SPEC_ENABLE or PR_SPEC_DISABLE or
+PR_SPEC_FORCE_DISABLE.
+
+Common error codes
+------------------
+======= =================================================================
+Value Meaning
+======= =================================================================
+EINVAL The prctl is not implemented by the architecture or unused
+ prctl(2) arguments are not 0.
+
+ENODEV arg2 is selecting a not supported speculation misfeature.
+======= =================================================================
+
+PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL error codes
+-----------------------------------
+======= =================================================================
+Value Meaning
+======= =================================================================
+0 Success
+
+ERANGE arg3 is incorrect, i.e. it's neither PR_SPEC_ENABLE nor
+ PR_SPEC_DISABLE nor PR_SPEC_FORCE_DISABLE.
+
+ENXIO Control of the selected speculation misfeature is not possible.
+ See PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL.
+
+EPERM Speculation was disabled with PR_SPEC_FORCE_DISABLE and caller
+ tried to enable it again.

+KVM implements the PSCI (Power State Coordination Interface)
+specification in order to provide services such as CPU on/off, reset
+and power-off to the guest.
+
+The PSCI specification is regularly updated to provide new features,
+and KVM implements these updates if they make sense from a virtualization
+point of view.
+
+This means that a guest booted on two different versions of KVM can
+observe two different "firmware" revisions. This could cause issues if
+a given guest is tied to a particular PSCI revision (unlikely), or if
+a migration causes a different PSCI version to be exposed out of the
+blue to an unsuspecting guest.
+
+In order to remedy this situation, KVM exposes a set of "firmware
+pseudo-registers" that can be manipulated using the GET/SET_ONE_REG
+interface. These registers can be saved/restored by userspace, and set
+to a convenient value if required.
+
+The following register is defined:
+
+* KVM_REG_ARM_PSCI_VERSION:
+
+ - Only valid if the vcpu has the KVM_ARM_VCPU_PSCI_0_2 feature set
+ (and thus has already been initialized)
+ - Returns the current PSCI version on GET_ONE_REG (defaulting to the
+ highest PSCI version implemented by KVM and compatible with v0.2)
+ - Allows any PSCI version implemented by KVM and compatible with
+ v0.2 to be set with SET_ONE_REG
+ - Affects the whole VM (even if the register view is per-vcpu)
