Hi,
Currently we use a 4.19.114 kernel in our builds.
During boot, I can see following log entry:
[ 0.000000] ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 missing from firmware
I can see this log entry comes from arch/arm64/kernel/cpu_errata.c, because detect_harden_bp_fw() returns -1 due to following defition in the drivers/firmware/psci.c:
struct psci_operations psci_ops = {
.conduit = PSCI_CONDUIT_NONE,
.smccc_version = SMCCC_VERSION_1_0,
};
At the same time I can see that spectre-v2 mitigated and Spectre-v2 not:

We don't have any KVM options enabled in the defconfig.
I can see ARM trusted firmware has support for SMCCC 1.1
So my question is how to get rid of that log print and to properly apply possible mitigations? Can I just redefine psci_ops structure to use SMCCC version 1.1?
