According to the SMCCC spec[1](7.5.2 Discovery) the
ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 function id only returns 0, 1, and
SMCCC_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED.
0 is "workaround required and safe to call this function"
1 is "workaround not required but safe to call this function"
SMCCC_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED is "might be vulnerable or might not be, who knows, I give up!"
SMCCC_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED might as well mean "workaround required, except
calling this function may not work because it isn't implemented in some
cases". Wonderful. We map this SMC call to
0 is SPECTRE_MITIGATED
1 is SPECTRE_UNAFFECTED
SMCCC_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED is SPECTRE_VULNERABLE
For KVM hypercalls (hvc), we've implemented this function id to return
SMCCC_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED, 0, and SMCCC_RET_NOT_REQUIRED. One of those
isn't supposed to be there. Per the code we call
arm64_get_spectre_v2_state() to figure out what to return for this
feature discovery call.
0 is SPECTRE_MITIGATED
SMCCC_RET_NOT_REQUIRED is SPECTRE_UNAFFECTED
SMCCC_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED is SPECTRE_VULNERABLE
Let's clean this up so that KVM tells the guest this mapping:
0 is SPECTRE_MITIGATED
1 is SPECTRE_UNAFFECTED
SMCCC_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED is SPECTRE_VULNERABLE
Note: SMCCC_RET_NOT_AFFECTED is 1 but isn't part of the SMCCC spec

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
