[PATCH, BINUTULS, AARCH64, 9/9] Add SSBS to MSR/MRS
This patch is part of the patch series to add support for ARMv8.5-A extensions. (https://developer.arm.com/products/architecture/cpu-architecture/a-profile/exploration-tools) The encodings can be found in the System Register XML. This patch adds support for the mitigation for Spectre Variant 4 by adding the PSTATE bit SSBS which are accessible using MSR and MRS instructions. Although this is a mandatory addition to the ARMv8.5-A, it is permitted to be added to any version of the ARMv8 architecture. This is enabled using the command line option of +ssbs for older versions. *** include/ChangeLog *** 2018-10-09 Sudakshina Das <sudi.das@arm.com> * opcode/aarch64.h (AARCH64_FEATURE_SSBS): New.
