Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

arm64: errata: Add missing sentinels to Spectre-BHB MIDR arrays

Commit a5951389e58d ("arm64: errata: Add newer ARM cores to the spectre_bhb_loop_affected() lists") added some additional CPUs to the Spectre-BHB workaround, including some new arrays for designs that require new 'k' values for the workaround to be effective.

Unfortunately, the new arrays omitted the sentinel entry and so is_midr_in_range_list() will walk off the end when it doesn't find a match. With UBSAN enabled, this leads to a crash during boot when is_midr_in_range_list() is inlined (which was more common prior to c8c2647e69be ("arm64: Make  _midr_in_range_list() an exported function")):

Add the missing sentinel entries.
