2017-02-10arm64: Work around Falkor erratum 1003Christopher Covington1-0/+1
The Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies Falkor v1 CPU may allocate TLB entries using an incorrect ASID when TTBRx_EL1 is being updated. When the erratum is triggered, page table entries using the new translation table base address (BADDR) will be allocated into the TLB using the old ASID. All circumstances leading to the incorrect ASID being cached in the TLB arise when software writes TTBRx_EL1[ASID] and TTBRx_EL1[BADDR], a memory operation is in the process of performing a translation using the specific TTBRx_EL1 being written, and the memory operation uses a translation table descriptor designated as non-global. EL2 and EL3 code changing the EL1&0 ASID is not subject to this erratum because hardware is prohibited from performing translations from an out-of-context translation regime. Consider the following pseudo code. write new BADDR and ASID values to TTBRx_EL1 Replacing the above sequence with the one below will ensure that no TLB entries with an incorrect ASID are used by software. write reserved value to TTBRx_EL1[ASID] ISB write new value to TTBRx_EL1[BADDR] ISB write new value to TTBRx_EL1[ASID] ISB When the above sequence is used, page table entries using the new BADDR value may still be incorrectly allocated into the TLB using the reserved ASID. Yet this will not reduce functionality, since TLB entries incorrectly tagged with the reserved ASID will never be hit by a later instruction.

2017-02-09arm64: arch_timer: document Hisilicon erratum 161010101Ding Tianhong1-22/+25
Now that we have a workaround for Hisilicon erratum 161010101, notes this in the arm64 silicon-errata document. The new config option is too long to fit in the existing kconfig column, so this is widened to accomodate it. At the same time, an existing whitespace error is corrected, and the existing pattern of a line space between vendors is enforced for recent additions.

2017-02-01arm64: Work around Falkor erratum 1009Christopher Covington1-0/+1
During a TLB invalidate sequence targeting the inner shareable domain, Falkor may prematurely complete the DSB before all loads and stores using the old translation are observed. Instruction fetches are not subject to the conditions of this erratum. If the original code sequence includes multiple TLB invalidate instructions followed by a single DSB, onle one of the TLB instructions needs to be repeated to work around this erratum. While the erratum only applies to cases in which the TLBI specifies the inner-shareable domain (*IS form of TLBI) and the DSB is ISH form or stronger (OSH, SYS), this changes applies the workaround overabundantly-- to local TLBI, DSB NSH sequences as well--for simplicity.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon: "It's a bit all over the place this time with no "killer feature" to speak of. Support for mismatched cache line sizes should help people seeing whacky JIT failures on some SoCs, and the big.LITTLE perf updates have been a long time coming, but a lot of the changes here are cleanups. We stray outside arch/arm64 in a few areas: the arch/arm/ arch_timer workaround is acked by Russell, the DT/OF bits are acked by Rob, the arch_timer clocksource changes acked by Marc, CPU hotplug by tglx and jump_label by Peter (all CC'd).

2016-09-23arm64: arch_timer: Work around QorIQ Erratum A-008585Scott Wood1-0/+2
Erratum A-008585 says that the ARM generic timer counter "has the potential to contain an erroneous value for a small number of core clock cycles every time the timer value changes". Accesses to TVAL (both read and write) are also affected due to the implicit counter read. Accesses to CVAL are not affected. The workaround is to reread TVAL and count registers until successive reads return the same value. Writes to TVAL are replaced with an equivalent write to CVAL. The workaround is to reread TVAL and count registers until successive reads return the same value, and when writing TVAL to retry until counter reads before and after the write return the same value. The workaround is enabled if the fsl,erratum-a008585 property is found in the timer node in the device tree. This can be overridden with the clocksource.arm_arch_timer.fsl-a008585 boot parameter, which allows KVM users to enable the workaround until a mechanism is implemented to automatically communicate this information. This erratum can be found on LS1043A and LS2080A.

2016-05-03iommu/arm-smmu: Work around MMU-500 prefetch errataRobin Murphy1-0/+1
MMU-500 erratum #841119 is tickled by a particular set of circumstances interacting with the next-page prefetcher. Since said prefetcher is quite dumb and actually detrimental to performance in some cases (by causing unwanted TLB evictions for non-sequential access patterns), we lose very little by turning it off, and what we gain is a guarantee that the erratum is never hit. As a bonus, the same workaround will also prevent erratum #826419 once v7 short descriptor support is implemented.

2016-02-26arm64: Add workaround for Cavium erratum 27456Andrew Pinski1-0/+1
On ThunderX T88 pass 1.x through 2.1 parts, broadcast TLBI instructions may cause the icache to become corrupted if it contains data for a non-current ASID. This patch implements the workaround (which invalidates the local icache when switching the mm) by using code patching.
