aarch32: stop speculative execution past exception returns aarch32 CPUs speculatively execute instructions following a ERET as if it was not a jump instruction. This could lead to cache-based side channel vulnerabilities. The software fix is to place barrier instructions following ERET. The counterpart patch for aarch64 is merged: https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a.git/commit/?id=f461fe346b728d0e88142fd7b8f2816415af18bc Change-Id: I2aa3105bee0b92238f389830b3a3b8650f33af3d Signed-off-by: Madhukar Pappireddy <madhukar.pappireddy@arm.com>
