On Cortex-A77 r0p0 and r1p0, a sequence of a non-cacheable or device load
and a store exclusive or PAR_EL1 read can cause a deadlock.

The workaround requires a DMB SY before and after a PAR_EL1 register
read. In addition, it's possible an interrupt (doing a device read) or
KVM guest exit could be taken between the DMB and PAR read, so we
also need a DMB before returning from interrupt and before returning to
a guest.

A deadlock is still possible with the workaround as KVM guests must also
have the workaround. IOW, a malicious guest can deadlock an affected
systems.

This workaround also depends on a firmware counterpart to enable the h/w
to insert DMB SY after load and store exclusive instructions. See the
errata document SDEN-1152370 v10 [1] for more information.

v6:
- Do dmb on kernel_exit rather than disabling interrupts around PAR read
v5:
- Rebase on v5.9-rc3
- Disable interrupts around PAR reads
- Add DMB on return to guest

v4:
- Move read_sysreg_par out of KVM code to sysreg.h to share
- Also use read_sysreg_par in fault.c and kvm/sys_regs.c
- Use alternative f/w for dmbs around PAR read
- Use cpus_have_final_cap instead of cpus_have_const_cap
- Add note about speculation of PAR read

v3:
- Add dmbs around PAR reads in KVM code
- Clean-up 'work-around' and 'errata'

v2:
- Don't disable KVM, just print warning

Marc, Can I get an ack for KVM on this? Will is waiting for one before applying.

Here you go:
