commit92edf8df0fupstream. When I updated the spectre_v2 reporting to handle software count cache flush I got the logic wrong when there's no software count cache enabled at all. The result is that on systems with the software count cache flush disabled we print: Mitigation: Indirect branch cache disabled, Software count cache flush Which correctly indicates that the count cache is disabled, but incorrectly says the software count cache flush is enabled. The root of the problem is that we are trying to handle all combinations of options. But we know now that we only expect to see the software count cache flush enabled if the other options are false. So split the two cases, which simplifies the logic and fixes the bug. We were also missing a space before "(hardware accelerated)". The result is we see one of: Mitigation: Indirect branch serialisation (kernel only) Mitigation: Indirect branch cache disabled Mitigation: Software count cache flush Mitigation: Software count cache flush (hardware accelerated) Fixes:ee13cb249f("powerpc/64s: Add support for software count cache flush") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.19+ Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Reviewed-by: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org> Reviewed-by: Diana Craciun <diana.craciun@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
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.
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.
