The GITS_TRANSLATER MMIO doorbell register in the ITS hardware is architected to be 4 bytes in size, yet on hi1620 and earlier, Hisilicon have allocated the adjacent 4 bytes to carry some IMPDEF sideband information which results in an 8-byte MSI payload being delivered when signalling an interrupt: MSIAddr: |----4bytes----|----4bytes----| | MSIData | IMPDEF | This poses no problem for the ITS hardware because the adjacent 4 bytes are reserved in the memory map. However, when delivering MSIs to memory, as we do in the SMMUv3 driver for signalling the completion of a SYNC command, the extended payload will corrupt the 4 bytes adjacent to the "sync_count" member in struct arm_smmu_device. Fortunately, the current layout allocates these bytes to padding, but this is fragile and we should make this explicit.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
