Anthony Steinhauser reports that 32-bit arm cpus have the same speculation
problems as 64-bit models. To resolve the syscall speculation, as a first step "nop; nop" was added after all occurances of the syscall ("swi 0") instruction. Then the kernel was changed to jump over the 2 extra instructions. In this final step, those pair of nops are converted into the speculation-blocking sequence ("dsb nsh; isb"). Don't try to build through these multiple steps, use a snapshot instead. Packages matching the new ABI will be out in a while... ok kettenis
