commit bd09128d16fac3c34b80bd6a29088ac632e8ce09 upstream. The Spectre-BHB workaround adds a firmware call to the vectors. This is needed on some CPUs, but not others. To avoid the unaffected CPU in a big/little pair from making the firmware call, create per cpu vectors. The per-cpu vectors only apply when returning from EL0. Systems using KPTI can use the canonical 'full-fat' vectors directly at EL1, the trampoline exit code will switch to this_cpu_vector on exit to EL0. Systems not using KPTI should always use this_cpu_vector. this_cpu_vector will point at a vector in tramp_vecs or __bp_harden_el1_vectors, depending on whether KPTI is in use.

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.
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.
