From: Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@xxxxxxx> Apparently, some Qualcomm arm64 platforms which appear to expose their SMMU global register space are still, in fact, using a hypervisor to mediate it by trapping and emulating register accesses. Sadly, some deployed versions of said trapping code have bugs wherein they go horribly wrong for stores using r31 (i.e. XZR/WZR) as the source register. While this can be mitigated for GCC today by tweaking the constraints for the implementation of writel_relaxed(), to avoid any potential arms race with future compilers more aggressively optimising register allocation, the simple way is to just remove all the problematic constant zeros. For the write-only TLB operations, the actual value is irrelevant anyway and any old nearby variable will provide a suitable GPR to encode. The one point at which we really do need a zero to clear a context bank happens before any of the TLB maintenance where crashes have been reported, so is apparently not a problem... :/ Reported-by: AngeloGioacchino Del Regno <kholk11@xxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Marc Gonzalez <marc.w.gonzalez@xxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Bjorn Andersson <bjorn.andersson@xxxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: AngeloGioacchino Del Regno <kholk11@xxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: Marc Gonzalez <marc.w.gonzalez@xxxxxxx> Tested-by: Bjorn Andersson <bjorn.andersson@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@xxxxxxx> --- Changes from v1: - Tweak commit message (remove "compilers", s/hangs/crashes) - Add a comment before writel_relaxed --- drivers/iommu/arm-smmu.c | 8 +++++--- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/iommu/arm-smmu.c b/drivers/iommu/arm-smmu.c index 5e54cc0a28b3..3f352268fa8b 100644 --- a/drivers/iommu/arm-smmu.c +++ b/drivers/iommu/arm-smmu.c @@ -423,7 +423,8 @@ static void __arm_smmu_tlb_sync(struct arm_smmu_device *smmu, { unsigned int spin_cnt, delay; - writel_relaxed(0, sync); + /* Write "garbage" (rather than 0) to work around a qcom bug */ + writel_relaxed((unsigned long)sync, sync); for (delay = 1; delay < TLB_LOOP_TIMEOUT; delay *= 2) { for (spin_cnt = TLB_SPIN_COUNT; spin_cnt > 0; spin_cnt--) { if (!(readl_relaxed(status) & sTLBGSTATUS_GSACTIVE)) @@ -1763,8 +1764,9 @@ static void arm_smmu_device_reset(struct arm_smmu_device *smmu) } /* Invalidate the TLB, just in case */ - writel_relaxed(0, gr0_base + ARM_SMMU_GR0_TLBIALLH); - writel_relaxed(0, gr0_base + ARM_SMMU_GR0_TLBIALLNSNH); + /* Write "garbage" (rather than 0) to work around a qcom bug */ + writel_relaxed(reg, gr0_base + ARM_SMMU_GR0_TLBIALLH); + writel_relaxed(reg, gr0_base + ARM_SMMU_GR0_TLBIALLNSNH); reg = readl_relaxed(ARM_SMMU_GR0_NS(smmu) + ARM_SMMU_GR0_sCR0); -- 2.17.1
