Subject[PATCH 4.19 102/114] arm64: ssbs: Dont treat CPUs with SSBS as unaffected by SSB
Date
From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

[ Upstream commit eb337cdfcd5dd3b10522c2f34140a73a4c285c30 ]

SSBS provides a relatively cheap mitigation for SSB, but it is still a
mitigation and its presence does not indicate that the CPU is unaffected
by the vulnerability.

Tweak the mitigation logic so that we report the correct string in sysfs.
