Some variants of the Arm Cortex-55 cores (r0p0, r0p1, r1p0) suffer from an erratum 1024718, which causes incorrect updates when DBM/AP bits in a page table entry is modified without a break-before-make sequence. The work around is to skip enabling the hardware DBM feature on the affected cores. The hardware Access Flag management features is not affected. There are some other cores suffering from this errata, which could be added to the midr_list to trigger the work around.

Silicon Errata and Software Workarounds

It is an unfortunate fact of life that hardware is often produced with
|
|
so-called "errata", which can cause it to deviate from the architecture
|
|
under specific circumstances. For hardware produced by ARM, these
|
|
errata are broadly classified into the following categories:
|
|
|
|
Category A: A critical error without a viable workaround.
|
|
Category B: A significant or critical error with an acceptable
|
|
workaround.
|
|
Category C: A minor error that is not expected to occur under normal
|
|
operation.
|
|
|
|
For more information, consult one of the "Software Developers Errata
|
|
Notice" documents available on infocenter.arm.com (registration
|
|
required).
|
|
|
|
As far as Linux is concerned, Category B errata may require some special
|
|
treatment in the operating system. For example, avoiding a particular
|
|
sequence of code, or configuring the processor in a particular way. A
|
|
less common situation may require similar actions in order to declassify
|
|
a Category A erratum into a Category C erratum. These are collectively
|
|
known as "software workarounds" and are only required in the minority of
|
|
cases (e.g. those cases that both require a non-secure workaround *and*
|
|
can be triggered by Linux).
|
|
|
|
For software workarounds that may adversely impact systems unaffected by
|
|
the erratum in question, a Kconfig entry is added under "Kernel
|
|
Features" -> "ARM errata workarounds via the alternatives framework".
|
|
These are enabled by default and patched in at runtime when an affected
|
|
CPU is detected. For less-intrusive workarounds, a Kconfig option is not
|
|
available and the code is structured (preferably with a comment) in such
|
|
a way that the erratum will not be hit.
|
|
|
|
This approach can make it slightly onerous to determine exactly which
|
|
errata are worked around in an arbitrary kernel source tree, so this
|
|
file acts as a registry of software workarounds in the Linux Kernel and
|
|
will be updated when new workarounds are committed and backported to
|
|
stable kernels.
