CPUs vulnerable to Spectre-BHB either need to make an SMC-CC firmware call from the vectors, or run a sequence of branches. This gets added to the hyp vectors. If there is no support for arch-workaround-1 in firmware, the indirect vector will be used. kvm_init_vector_slots() only initialises the two indirect slots if the platform is vulnerable to Spectre-v3a. pKVM's hyp_map_vectors() only initialises __hyp_bp_vect_base if the platform is vulnerable to Spectre-v3a. As there are about to more users of the indirect vectors, ensure their entries in hyp_spectre_vector_selector[] are always initialised, and __hyp_bp_vect_base defaults to the regular VA mapping. The Spectre-v3a check is moved to a helper kvm_system_needs_idmapped_vectors(), and merged with the code that creates the hyp mappings.

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.
