Neoverse-N1 cores with the 'COHERENT_ICACHE' feature may fetch stale instructions when software depends on prefetch-speculation-protection instead of explicit synchronization. [0] The workaround is to trap I-Cache maintenance and issue an inner-shareable TLBI. The affected cores have a Coherent I-Cache, so the I-Cache maintenance isn't necessary. The core tells user-space it can skip it with CTR_EL0.DIC. We also have to trap this register to hide the bit forcing DIC-aware user-space to perform the maintenance. To avoid trapping all cache-maintenance, this workaround depends on a firmware component that only traps I-cache maintenance from EL0 and performs the workaround. For user-space, the kernel's work is to trap CTR_EL0 to hide DIC, and produce a fake IminLine. EL3 traps the now-necessary I-Cache maintenance and performs the inner-shareable-TLBI that makes everything better.
