From 2c32c65e3726c773760038910be30cce1b4d4149 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Rutland Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2014 12:11:50 +0100 Subject: ARM: 8129/1: errata: work around Cortex-A15 erratum 830321 using dummy strex On revisions of Cortex-A15 prior to r3p3, a CLREX instruction at PL1 may falsely trigger a watchpoint exception, leading to potential data aborts during exception return and/or livelock. This patch resolves the issue in the following ways: - Replacing our uses of CLREX with a dummy STREX sequence instead (as we did for v6 CPUs). - Removing the clrex code from v7_exit_coherency_flush and derivatives, since this only exists as a minor performance improvement when non-cached exclusives are in use (Linux doesn't use these). Benchmarking on a variety of ARM cores revealed no measurable performance difference with this change applied, so the change is performed unconditionally and no new Kconfig entry is added.
