Certain Arm Cortex and Neoverse processors through 2022-03-08 do not
properly restrict cache speculation, aka Spectre-BHB. An attacker can
leverage the shared branch history in the Branch History Buffer (BHB) to
influence mispredicted branches. Then, cache allocation can allow the
attacker to obtain sensitive information.
