commit 25875aa71dfefd1959f07e626c4d285b88b27ac2 upstream.
The mitigations for Spectre-BHB are only applied when an exception
is taken, but when unprivileged BPF is enabled, userspace can
load BPF programs that can be used to exploit the problem.
When unprivileged BPF is enabled, report the vulnerable status via
the spectre_v2 sysfs file.

commit b9baf5c8c5c356757f4f9d8180b5e9d234065bc3 upstream.
Workaround the Spectre BHB issues for Cortex-A15, Cortex-A57,
Cortex-A72, Cortex-A73 and Cortex-A75. We also include Brahma B15 as
well to be safe, which is affected by Spectre V2 in the same ways as
Cortex-A15.
