[PATCH 0/2] ARM errata 814220

[PATCH 0/2] ARM errata 814220

[Benjamin Gaignard]

Implement ARM errata 814220 for Cortex A7.

This patch has been wroten by Jason Liu years ago but never send upstream.
I have tried to contact the author on multiple email addresses but I haven't
found any valid one...
I have keep Jason's sign-off and just rebase the patch on to v5-rc6.

Benjamin Gaignard (2):
  ARM: errata 814220-B-Cache maintenance by set/way operations can
    execute out of order.

[PATCH 1/2] ARM: errata 814220-B-Cache maintenance by set/way operations can execute out of order.

[Benjamin Gaignard]

Description:
The v7 ARM states that all cache and branch predictor maintenance operations
that do not specify an address execute, relative to each other, in program
order. However, because of this erratum, an L2 set/way cache maintenance
operation can overtake an L1 set/way cache maintenance operation, this would
cause the data corruption.

This ERRATA affected the Cortex-A7 and present in r0p2, r0p3, r0p4, r0p5.

This patch is the SW workaround by adding a DSB before changing cache levels as
the ARM ERRATA: ARM/MP: 814220 told in the ARM ERRATA documentation.

Looks good to me,

Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

It probably makes most sense to keep them as a series, either
through the soc tree or Russell's patch tracker, so feel free to add
it there, and have them both in the stm32 soc branch for arm-soc
if Russell prefers.

As we have a number of Cortex-A7 based platforms with all
kinds of revisions, I wonder if we should also select the workaround
for the others. I can probably figure out which SoC platforms
are based on Cortex-A7, but I have no idea about the revisions,
so that might mean we'd have to do it for all of them. According
to the latest TRM I found, only revisions r0p0 through r0p5
exist, and the erraturm text lists r0p2 through r0p5, which may
mean all products ever shipped in practice (the oldest public
TRM from 2012 already describe r0p3).

We generally try to keep help lines so that when edited on an 80 column
display, they do not wrap.  Please can you reformat the above to satisfy
that please?  (means breaking the lines after "maintenance" on the first
line.)

Thanks.

Russel, what do you think about Arnd proposition? I could take both
patches in my stm32 tree. It'll make part of future v5.2 pull request.
