Update macro to check need for CVE-2017-5715 mitigation
Armv8.5 introduces the field CSV2 to register ID_AA64PFR0_EL1. It can have the following 3 values: - 0: Branch targets trained in one hardware described context may affect speculative execution in a different hardware described context. In some CPUs it may be needed to apply mitigations. - 1: Branch targets trained in one hardware described context can only affect speculative execution in a different hardware described context in a hard-to-determine way. No mitigation required. - 2: Same as 1, but the device is also aware of SCXTNUM_ELx register contexts. The TF doesn't use the registers, so there is no difference with 1. The field CSV2 was originally introduced in the TRM of the Cortex-A76 before the release of the Armv8.5 architecture. That TRM only mentions the meaning of values 0 and 1. Because of this, the code only checks if the field has value 1 to know whether to enable or disable the mitigations. This patch makes it aware of value 2 as well. Both values 1 and 2 disable the mitigation, and 0 enables it. Change-Id: I5af33de25a0197c98173f52c6c8c77b51a51429f Signed-off-by: Antonio Nino Diaz <antonio.ninodiaz@arm.com>
