Speculative Store Bypassing Safe(FEAT_SSBS) is a feature present in AArch32 state for Armv8 and is represented by ID_PFR2_EL1.SSBS identification register. This feature denotes the presence of PSTATE.ssbs bit and hence adding a hwcap will enable the userspace to check it before trying to set/unset this PSTATE. This commit adds the ID feature bit detection, and uses elf_hwcap2 accordingly.

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.
