+ Speculation attacks against some high-performance processors rely on
+ being able to manipulate the branch predictor for a victim context by
+ executing aliasing branches in the attacker context. Such attacks
+ can be partially mitigated against by clearing internal branch
+ predictor state and limiting the prediction logic in some situations.
+
+ This config option will take CPU-specific actions to harden the
+ branch predictor against aliasing attacks and may rely on specific
+ instruction sequences or control bits being set by the system
+ firmware.
+
+ If unsure, say Y.
