This test uses the PMU to count branch prediction hits/misses for a
known loop, and compare the result to the reported spectre v2
mitigation.
This gives us a way of sanity checking that the reported mitigation is
actually in effect.
Sample output for some cases, eg:
Power9:
sysfs reports: 'Vulnerable'
PM_BR_PRED_CCACHE: result 368 running/enabled 5792777124
PM_BR_MPRED_CCACHE: result 319 running/enabled 5792775546
PM_BR_PRED_PCACHE: result 2147483281 running/enabled 5792773128
PM_BR_MPRED_PCACHE: result 213604201 running/enabled 5792771640
Miss percent 9 %
OK - Measured branch prediction rates match reported spectre v2 mitigation.
sysfs reports: 'Mitigation: Indirect branch serialisation (kernel only)'
PM_BR_PRED_CCACHE: result 895 running/enabled 5780320920
PM_BR_MPRED_CCACHE: result 822 running/enabled 5780312414
PM_BR_PRED_PCACHE: result 2147482754 running/enabled 5780308836
PM_BR_MPRED_PCACHE: result 213639731 running/enabled 5780307912
Miss percent 9 %
OK - Measured branch prediction rates match reported spectre v2 mitigation.
sysfs reports: 'Mitigation: Indirect branch cache disabled'
PM_BR_PRED_CCACHE: result 2147483649 running/enabled 20540186160
PM_BR_MPRED_CCACHE: result 2147483649 running/enabled 20540180056
PM_BR_PRED_PCACHE: result 0 running/enabled 20540176090
PM_BR_MPRED_PCACHE: result 0 running/enabled 20540174182
Miss percent 100 %
OK - Measured branch prediction rates match reported spectre v2 mitigation.
Power8:
sysfs reports: 'Vulnerable'
PM_BR_PRED_CCACHE: result 2147483649 running/enabled 3505888142
PM_BR_MPRED_CCACHE: result 9 running/enabled 3505882788
Miss percent 0 %
OK - Measured branch prediction rates match reported spectre v2 mitigation.
sysfs reports: 'Mitigation: Indirect branch cache disabled'
PM_BR_PRED_CCACHE: result 2147483649 running/enabled 16931421988
PM_BR_MPRED_CCACHE: result 2147483649 running/enabled 16931416478
Miss percent 100 %

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
