[PATCH 1/2] arm64: Workaround for Cavium ThunderX2 erratum 219

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@xxxxxxx>

A prefetch, load or store instruction after a TTBR change but before the
corresponding context synchronization barrier can cause a spurious Data
Abort on Cavium ThunderX2.

An optimization introduced in commit c7b9adaf85f818 ("arm64: entry: Add
exception trampoline page for exceptions from EL0") for prefetching
trampoline vectors ends up triggering this issue when KPTI is enabled.

Workaround is to turn off the prefetch for ThunderX2 where it does not
have an advantage.
