handling in firmware.

Commit f5fe12b1eaee220ce62ff9afb8b90929c396595f upstream.
In order to prevent aliasing attacks on the branch predictor,
invalidate the BTB or instruction cache on CPUs that are known to be
affected when taking an abort on a address that is outside of a user
task limit:
Cortex A8, A9, A12, A17, A73, A75: flush BTB.
Cortex A15, Brahma B15: invalidate icache.
If the IBE bit is not set, then there is little point to enabling the
workaround.

Commit e388b80288aade31135aca23d32eee93dd106795 upstream.
When the branch predictor hardening is enabled, firmware must have set
the IBE bit in the auxiliary control register. If this bit has not
been set, the Spectre workarounds will not be functional.
Add validation that this bit is set, and print a warning at alert level
if this is not the case.

Commit 06c23f5ffe7ad45b908d0fff604dae08a7e334b9 upstream.
Required manual merge of arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.S.
Harden the branch predictor against Spectre v2 attacks on context
switches for ARMv7 and later CPUs. We do this by:
Cortex A9, A12, A17, A73, A75: invalidating the BTB.
Cortex A15, Brahma B15: invalidating the instruction cache.
Cortex A57 and Cortex A72 are not addressed in this patch.
Cortex R7 and Cortex R8 are also not addressed as we do not enforce
memory protection on these cores.
