Subject: arm64: Turn on KPTI only on CPUs that need it
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2adcb1fb389f1e4d650ecbd25b9ecace0fe5d014;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

arm64: Turn on KPTI only on CPUs that need it

commit 0ba2e29c7fc1 upstream.

Whitelist Broadcom Vulcan/Cavium ThunderX2 processors in
unmap_kernel_at_el0(). These CPUs are not vulnerable to
CVE-2017-5754 and do not need KPTI when KASLR is off.
