powerpc/pseries: Fix clearing of security feature flags
commit 0f9bdfe3c77091e8704d2e510eb7c2c2c6cde524 upstream.
The H_CPU_BEHAV_* flags should be checked for in the 'behaviour' field
of 'struct h_cpu_char_result' -- 'character' is for H_CPU_CHAR_*
flags.
Found by playing around with QEMU's implementation of the hypercall:
H_CPU_CHAR=0xf000000000000000
H_CPU_BEHAV=0x0000000000000000
This clears H_CPU_BEHAV_FAVOUR_SECURITY and H_CPU_BEHAV_L1D_FLUSH_PR
so pseries_setup_rfi_flush() disables 'rfi_flush'; and it also
clears H_CPU_CHAR_L1D_THREAD_PRIV flag. So there is no RFI flush
mitigation at all for cpu_show_meltdown() to report; but currently
it does:
Original kernel:
# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/meltdown
Mitigation: RFI Flush
Patched kernel:
# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/meltdown
Not affected
H_CPU_CHAR=0x0000000000000000
H_CPU_BEHAV=0xf000000000000000
This sets H_CPU_BEHAV_BNDS_CHK_SPEC_BAR so cpu_show_spectre_v1() should
report vulnerable; but currently it doesn't:
Original kernel:
# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v1
Not affected
Patched kernel:
# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v1
Vulnerable
