Erratum A-008585 says that the ARM generic timer counter "has the
potential to contain an erroneous value for a small number of core
clock cycles every time the timer value changes". Accesses to TVAL
(both read and write) are also affected due to the implicit counter
read. Accesses to CVAL are not affected.
The workaround is to reread TVAL and count registers until successive
reads return the same value. Writes to TVAL are replaced with an
equivalent write to CVAL.
The workaround is to reread TVAL and count registers until successive reads
return the same value, and when writing TVAL to retry until counter
reads before and after the write return the same value.
The workaround is enabled if the fsl,erratum-a008585 property is found in
the timer node in the device tree. This can be overridden with the
clocksource.arm_arch_timer.fsl-a008585 boot parameter, which allows KVM
users to enable the workaround until a mechanism is implemented to
automatically communicate this information.
This erratum can be found on LS1043A and LS2080A.

v6:
- Addressed feedback from Mark Rutland
v5:
- Export arch_timer_read_ool_enabled so that get_cycles() can be called
from modules.
v4:
- Undef ARCH_TIMER_REG_READ after use
v3:
- Used cval rather than a loop for the write side of the erratum
- Added a Kconfig control
- Moved the device tree binding into its own patch
- Added erratum to silicon-errata.txt
- Changed function names to contain the erratum name
- Factored out the setting of erratum versions of set_next_event
to improve readability
- Added a comment clarifying that the timeout is arbitrary
v2:
Significant rework based on feedback, including using static_key,
disabling VDSO counter access rather than adding the workaround to the
VDSO, and uninlining the loops.
Dropped the separate property for indicating that writes to TVAL are
affected, as I believe that's just a side effect of the implicit
counter read being corrupted, and thus a chip that is affected by one
will always be affected by the other.
Dropped the arm32 portion as it seems there was confusion about whether
LS1021A is affected. Currently I am being told that it is not
affected.
I considered writing to CVAL rather than looping on TVAL writes, but
that would still have required separate set_next_event() code for the
erratum, and adding CVAL to the enum would have required a bunch of
extra handlers in switch statements (even where unused, due to compiler
warnings about unhandled enum values) including in an arm32 header. It
seemed better to avoid the arm32 interaction and new untested
accessors.
