arm64: KVM: Add workaround for Cortex-A57 erratum 834220
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Cortex-A57 parts up to r1p2 can misreport Stage 2 translation faults
when a Stage 1 permission fault or device alignment fault should
have been reported.

This patch implements the workaround (which is to validate that the
Stage-1 translation actually succeeds) by using code patching.

help
This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
erratum 834220 on Cortex-A57 parts up to r1p2.

Affected Cortex-A57 parts might report a Stage 2 translation
fault as the result of a Stage 1 fault for load crossing a
page boundary when there is a permission or device memory
alignment fault at Stage 1 and a translation fault at Stage 2.

The workaround is to verify that the Stage 1 translation
doesn't generate a fault before handling the Stage 2 fault.
Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround,
as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch
the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.

If unsure, say Y.
