[PATCH v2] xen/arm: Add workaround for Cortex-A76/Neoverse-N1 erratum #1286807
Posted by Michal Orzel 3 years, 5 months ago
On the affected Cortex-A76/Neoverse-N1 cores (r0p0 to r3p0),
if a virtual address for a cacheable mapping of a location is being
accessed by a core while another core is remapping the virtual
address to a new physical page using the recommended break-before-make
sequence, then under very rare circumstances TLBI+DSB completes before
a read using the translation being invalidated has been observed by
other observers. The workaround repeats the TLBI+DSB operation
for all the TLB flush operations on purpose.

Sorry for nitpicking, the commit message should contain enough 
information for future reader to understand why this was done "on purpose".

So how about:

"The workaround repeats the TLBI+DSB operation for all the TLB flush 
operations. While this is stricly not necessary, we don't want to take 
any risk.".

I can fix it on commit.

Thanks. I have committed now with an extra small change (I hope that's 
fine). I decided to not add the extra-clarification in the Kconfig for 
two reasons:
  1) The description is already pretty long and I wanted to keep it 
short. A more user interested with the workaround would likely go and 
read the code.
  2) There are a risk the description will get desynchronized in the 
future. So better to keep the justification close to the implementation.

Cheers,

Looks good and it looks like you addressed all Julien's comments, so:
