[PATCH 4.3 157/157] arm64: KVM: Add workaround for Cortex-A57 erratum 834220

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Jan 27 2016 - 15:21:41 EST


4.3-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@xxxxxxx>

commit 498cd5c32be6e32bc0f8efcad48ab094bb2bfdf3 upstream.

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.

+ 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 a the result of a Stage 1 fault for a load crossing
+ a page boundary when there is a Stage 1 permission or device
+ memory alignment fault and a Stage 2 translation fault
+
+ 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.
