Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"It's a bit all over the place this time with no "killer feature" to
speak of. Support for mismatched cache line sizes should help people
seeing whacky JIT failures on some SoCs, and the big.LITTLE perf
updates have been a long time coming, but a lot of the changes here
are cleanups.
We stray outside arch/arm64 in a few areas: the arch/arm/ arch_timer
workaround is acked by Russell, the DT/OF bits are acked by Rob, the
arch_timer clocksource changes acked by Marc, CPU hotplug by tglx and
jump_label by Peter (all CC'd).
Summary:
- Support for execute-only page permissions
- Support for hibernate and DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
- Support for heterogeneous systems with mismatches cache line sizes
- Errata workarounds (A53 843419 update and QorIQ A-008585 timer bug)
- arm64 PMU perf updates, including cpumasks for heterogeneous systems
- Set UTS_MACHINE for building rpm packages

Silicon Errata and Software Workarounds
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
Author: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

Date : 27 November 2015
|
|
|
|
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.
