Marc Zyngier 4b472ffd15 arm64: Enable ARM64_HARDEN_EL2_VECTORS on Cortex-A57 and A72
Cortex-A57 and A72 are vulnerable to the so-called "variant 3a" of
Meltdown, where an attacker can speculatively obtain the value
of a privileged system register.

By enabling ARM64_HARDEN_EL2_VECTORS on these CPUs, obtaining
VBAR_EL2 is not disclosing the hypervisor mappings anymore.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
