[PATCH v2] iommu/arm-smmu: Avoid constant zero in TLBI writes

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

 



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... :/
