    LoongArch: Enable generic CPU vulnerabilites support · e8dd556c
    Tiezhu Yang authored
    Currently, many architectures support generic CPU vulnerabilites, such
    as x86, arm64 and riscv:
    
     commit 61dc0f55 ("x86/cpu: Implement CPU vulnerabilites sysfs functions")
     commit 61ae1321 ("arm64: enable generic CPU vulnerabilites support")
     commit 0e3f3649 ("riscv: Enable generic CPU vulnerabilites support")
    
    All LoongArch CPUs (since Loongson-3A5000) implement a special mechanism
    in the processor core to prevent "Meltdown" and "Spectre" attacks, so it
    can enable generic CPU vulnerabilites support for LoongArch too.
    
    Without this patch, there are no user interfaces of vulnerabilities to
    check on LoongArch. The output of those files reflects the state of the
    CPUs in the system, the output value "Not affected" means "CPU is not
    affected by the vulnerability".
    
    Before:
    
     # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spec_rstack_overflow
     cat: /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spec_rstack_overflow: No such file or directory
     # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spec_store_bypass
     cat: /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spec_store_bypass: No such file or directory
     # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/meltdown
     cat: /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/meltdown: No such file or directory
    
    After:
    
     # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spec_rstack_overflow
     Not affected
     # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spec_store_bypass
     Not affected
     # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/meltdown
     Not affected
