[PATCH 0/7] arm64: Workaround for Cortex-A76 erratum 1188873

Early revisions of Cortex-A76 suffer from erratum 1188873 which reads "MRC read following MRRC read of specific Generic Timer in AArch32 might give incorrect result" (see [1], registration required...). The workaround is to trap all EL0 accesses to the virtual timer (as well as CNTFRQ_EL0) and emulate it at EL1 (EL2 if running VHE). This results in some infrastructure for handling AArch32 CP15 traps at EL1, with all the joy of handling conditional instructions and IT advance... A lot of that code comes from KVM, and could potentially be shared. Most of these patches were posted as part of a different series about a year ago[2] [1] https://silver.arm.com/download/Documentation/BX500-DA-10008-r0p0-00rel0/Arm_Cortex-A76_MP052_Software_Developer_Errata_Notice_v9.pdf [2] http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2017-July/520426.html Marc Zyngier (7): arm64: Add decoding macros for CP15_32 and CP15_64 traps arm64: compat: Add separate CP15 trapping hook arm64: compat: Add condition code checks and IT advance arm64: compat: Add cp15_32 and cp15_64 handler arrays arm64: compat: Add CNTVCT trap handler arm64: compat: Add CNTFRQ trap handler arm64: arch_timer: Add workaround for ARM erratum 1188873 arch/arm64/Kconfig | 12 +++ arch/arm64/include/asm/cpucaps.h | 3 +- arch/arm64/include/asm/cputype.h | 2 + arch/arm64/include/asm/esr.h | 58 ++++++++++ arch/arm64/kernel/cpu_errata.c | 8 ++ arch/arm64/kernel/entry.S | 15 ++- arch/arm64/kernel/traps.c | 155 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/clocksource/arm_arch_timer.c | 15 +++ 8 files changed, 265 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) -- 2.19.0
