The Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies Falkor v1 CPU may allocate TLB entries using an incorrect ASID when TTBRx_EL1 is being updated. When the erratum is triggered, page table entries using the new translation table base address (BADDR) will be allocated into the TLB using the old ASID. All circumstances leading to the incorrect ASID being cached in the TLB arise when software writes TTBRx_EL1[ASID] and TTBRx_EL1[BADDR], a memory operation is in the process of performing a translation using the specific TTBRx_EL1 being written, and the memory operation uses a translation table descriptor designated as non-global. EL2 and EL3 code changing the EL1&0 ASID is not subject to this erratum because hardware is prohibited from performing translations from an out-of-context translation regime. Consider the following pseudo code. write new BADDR and ASID values to TTBRx_EL1 Replacing the above sequence with the one below will ensure that no TLB entries with an incorrect ASID are used by software. write reserved value to TTBRx_EL1[ASID] ISB write new value to TTBRx_EL1[BADDR] ISB write new value to TTBRx_EL1[ASID] ISB When the above sequence is used, page table entries using the new BADDR value may still be incorrectly allocated into the TLB using the reserved ASID. Yet this will not reduce functionality, since TLB entries incorrectly tagged with the reserved ASID will never be hit by a later instruction.

Silicon Errata and Software Workarounds

It is an unfortunate fact of life that hardware is often produced with
|
|
so-called "errata", which can cause it to deviate from the architecture
|
|
under specific circumstances. For hardware produced by ARM, these
|
|
errata are broadly classified into the following categories:
|
|
|
|
Category A: A critical error without a viable workaround.
|
|
Category B: A significant or critical error with an acceptable
|
|
workaround.
|
|
Category C: A minor error that is not expected to occur under normal
|
|
operation.
|
|
|
|
For more information, consult one of the "Software Developers Errata
|
|
Notice" documents available on infocenter.arm.com (registration
|
|
required).
|
|
|
|
As far as Linux is concerned, Category B errata may require some special
|
|
treatment in the operating system. For example, avoiding a particular
|
|
sequence of code, or configuring the processor in a particular way. A
|
|
less common situation may require similar actions in order to declassify
|
|
a Category A erratum into a Category C erratum. These are collectively
|
|
known as "software workarounds" and are only required in the minority of
|
|
cases (e.g. those cases that both require a non-secure workaround *and*
|
|
can be triggered by Linux).
|
|
|
|
For software workarounds that may adversely impact systems unaffected by
|
|
the erratum in question, a Kconfig entry is added under "Kernel
|
|
Features" -> "ARM errata workarounds via the alternatives framework".
|
|
These are enabled by default and patched in at runtime when an affected
|
|
CPU is detected. For less-intrusive workarounds, a Kconfig option is not
|
|
available and the code is structured (preferably with a comment) in such
|
|
a way that the erratum will not be hit.
|
|
|
|
This approach can make it slightly onerous to determine exactly which
|
|
errata are worked around in an arbitrary kernel source tree, so this
|
|
file acts as a registry of software workarounds in the Linux Kernel and
|
|
will be updated when new workarounds are committed and backported to
|
|
stable kernels.
