commit b4f18c063a13dfb33e3a63fe1844823e19c2265e upstream. In order to forward the guest's ARCH_WORKAROUND_2 calls to EL3, add a small(-ish) sequence to handle it at EL2. Special care must be taken to track the state of the guest itself by updating the workaround flags. We also rely on patching to enable calls into the firmware. Note that since we need to execute branches, this always executes after the Spectre-v2 mitigation has been applied.

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.
