[PATCH 0/5] arm64: Add workaround for Cortex-A77 erratum 1542418

From: Suzuki K Poulose
Date: Thu Nov 14 2019 - 10:00:00 EST


This series adds workaround for Arm erratum 1542418 which affects
Cortex-A77 cores (r0p0 - r1p0). Affected cores may execute stale
instructions from the L0 macro-op cache violating the
prefetch-speculation-protection guaranteed by the architecture.
This happens when the when the branch predictor bases its predictions
on a branch at this address on the stale history due to ASID or VMID
reuse.

The workaround is to invalidate the branch history before reusing
any ASID for a new address space. This is done by ensuring 60 ASIDs
are selected before any ASID is reused.
