ARM: 8558/1: errata: Workaround errata A12 818325/852422 A17 852423
There are several similar errata on Cortex A12 and A17 that all have the same workaround: setting bit[12] of the Feature Register. Technically the list of errata are: - A12 818325: Execution of an UNPREDICTABLE STR or STM instruction might deadlock. Fixed in r0p1. - A12 852422: Execution of a sequence of instructions might lead to either a data corruption or a CPU deadlock. Not fixed in any A12s yet. - A17 852423: Execution of a sequence of instructions might lead to either a data corruption or a CPU deadlock. Not fixed in any A17s yet. Since A12 got renamed to A17 it seems likely that there won't be any future Cortex-A12 cores, so we'll enable for all Cortex-A12. For Cortex-A17 I believe that all known revisions are affected and that all knows revisions means <= r1p2. Presumably if a new A17 was released it would have this problem fixed. Note that in <https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/4735341/> folks previously expressed opposition to this change because: A) It was thought to only apply to r0p0 and there were no known r0p0 boards supported in mainline. B) It was argued that such a workaround beloned in firmware. Now that this same fix solves other errata on real boards (like rk3288) point A) is addressed. Point B) is impossible to address on boards like rk3288. On rk3288 the firmware doesn't stay resident in RAM and isn't involved at all in the suspend/resume process nor in the SMP bringup process. That means that the most the firmware could do would be to set the bit on "core 0" and this bit would be lost at suspend/resume time. It is true that we could write a "generic" solution that saved the boot-time "core 0" value of this register and applied it at SMP bringup / resume time. However, since this register (described as the "Feature Register" in errata) appears to be undocumented (as far as I can tell) and is only modified for these errata, that "generic" solution seems questionably cleaner. The generic solution also won't fix existing users that haven't happened to do a FW update. Note that in ARM64 presumably PSCI will be universal and fixes like this will end up in ATF. Hopefully we are nearing the end of this style of errata workaround.
