upstream commit b7540d62509453263604a155bf2d5f0ed450cba2
Emit similar instruction sequences to commit a048a07d7f4535
("powerpc/64s: Add support for a store forwarding barrier at kernel
entry/exit") when encountering BPF_NOSPEC.
Mitigations are enabled depending on what the firmware advertises. In
particular, we do not gate these mitigations based on current settings,
just like in x86. Due to this, we don't need to take any action if
mitigations are enabled or disabled at runtime.

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.
