On a CPU that doesn't support SSBS, PSTATE[12] is RES0.  In a system
where only some of the CPUs implement SSBS, we end-up losing track of
the SSBS bit across task migration.

To address this issue, let's force the SSBS bit on context switch.

Fixes: 8f04e8e6e29c ("arm64: ssbd: Add support for PSTATE.SSBS rather than trapping to EL3")

Hi Marc,

Patch looks good to me. Thanks!

Minor: Can also modify copy_thread() to use set_ssbs_bit(childregs)

While still trying not to get confused between SSBD/SSBS and possible
inverted polarity between them I assume that the cleared flag TIF_SSBD
on the next user thread prompts setting SSBS bit on it's regs->pstate
for later.

Now when this next task moves to a non-supporting CPU, restoring SSBS
bit from it's stored regs->pstate is inconsequential because its RES0
on that CPU's pstate. But when the next CPU supports SSBS it will just
enable it. SSBD/SSBS context needs to be moved from thread flags into
the saved pstate. Is that correct ?

Also the commit message should include some description about how SSBS
bit was getting lost during task migration.

You need to read this patch in conjunction with 8f04e8e6e29c, which
gives the required context.

If what you suggest is a migration from a non-SSBS CPU to a SSBS CPU,
then yes, this is correct.

I believe it does. It you think it could be improved, please suggest
what you'd like to see there.

Thanks,

Sure, this seems like a valuable cleanup. v2 coming up shortly.

Thanks,
