I think this force-stall thing should get a closer look, it doesn't
look completely implemented and what does it mean for, eg, non-SVA
domains attached to the device (as we now support with S2 and soon
with PASID)
The manual says:
0b10 Stall is forced (all faults eligible to stall cause stall),
STE.S2S and CD.S must be 1.
And there is a note:
Note: For faulting transactions that are associated with client
devices that have been configured to stall, but where
the system has not explicitly advertised the client devices to be
usable with the stall model, Arm recommends for
software to expect that events might be recorded with Stall == 0.
Which makes it seem like it isn't actually "force" per-say, but
something else.
I notice the driver never sets STE.S2S, and it isn't entirely clear
what software should even do for a standard non-faulting domain where
non-present means failure? Take the fault event and always respond
with failure? What is the purpose?
Aside from that the change looks OK to me:
