Subject[PATCH 4.19 78/79] arm64: kpti: Whitelist Cortex-A CPUs that dont implement the CSV3 field
Date
From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

commit 2a355ec25729053bb9a1a89b6c1d1cdd6c3b3fb1 upstream.

While the CSV3 field of the ID_AA64_PFR0 CPU ID register can be checked
to see if a CPU is susceptible to Meltdown and therefore requires kpti
to be enabled, existing CPUs do not implement this field.

We therefore whitelist all unaffected Cortex-A CPUs that do not implement
the CSV3 field.
