This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ARM: 8191/1: decompressor: ensure I-side picks up relocated code to the 3.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: arm-8191-1-decompressor-ensure-i-side-picks-up-relocated-code.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 238962ac71910d6c20162ea5230685fead1836a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 4 Nov 2014 11:40:46 +0100 Subject: ARM: 8191/1: decompressor: ensure I-side picks up relocated code From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@xxxxxxx> commit 238962ac71910d6c20162ea5230685fead1836a4 upstream. To speed up decompression, the decompressor sets up a flat, cacheable mapping of memory. However, when there is insufficient space to hold the page tables for this mapping, we don't bother to enable the caches and subsequently skip all the cache maintenance hooks. Skipping the cache maintenance before jumping to the relocated code allows the processor to predict the branch and populate the I-cache with stale data before the relocation loop has completed (since a bootloader may have SCTLR.I set, which permits normal, cacheable instruction fetches regardless of SCTLR.M). This patch moves the cache maintenance check into the maintenance routines themselves, allowing the v6/v7 versions to invalidate the I-cache regardless of the MMU state.
