FROMGIT: arm64: errata: Workaround for SI L1 downstream coherency issue
When software issues a Cache Maintenance Operation (CMO) targeting a
dirty cache line, the CPU and DSU cluster may optimize the operation by
combining the CopyBack Write and CMO into a single combined CopyBack
Write plus CMO transaction presented to the interconnect (MCN).
For these combined transactions, the MCN splits the operation into two
separate transactions, one Write and one CMO, and then propagates the
write and optionally the CMO to the downstream memory system or external
Point of Serialization (PoS).
However, the MCN may return an early CompCMO response to the DSU cluster
before the corresponding Write and CMO transactions have completed at
the external PoS or downstream memory. As a result, stale data may be
observed by external observers that are directly connected to the
external PoS or downstream memory.
This erratum affects any system topology in which the following
conditions apply:
- The Point of Serialization (PoS) is located downstream of the
interconnect.
- A downstream observer accesses memory directly, bypassing the
interconnect.
Conditions:
This erratum occurs only when all of the following conditions are met:
1. Software executes a data cache maintenance operation, specifically,
a clean or clean&invalidate by virtual address (DC CVAC or DC
CIVAC), that hits on unique dirty data in the CPU or DSU cache.
This results in a combined CopyBack and CMO being issued to the
interconnect.
2. The interconnect splits the combined transaction into separate Write
and CMO transactions and returns an early completion response to the
CPU or DSU before the write has completed at the downstream memory
or PoS.
3. A downstream observer accesses the affected memory address after the
early completion response is issued but before the actual memory
write has completed. This allows the observer to read stale data
that has not yet been updated at the PoS or downstream memory.
The implementation of workaround put a second loop of CMOs at the same
virtual address whose operation meet erratum conditions to wait until
cache data be cleaned to PoC. This way of implementation mitigates
performance penalty compared to purely duplicate original CMO.

BEST: Make all of your changes to upstream Linux. If appropriate, backport to the stable releases. These patches will be merged automatically in the corresponding common kernels. If the patch is already in upstream Linux, post a backport of the patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() require an in-tree modular driver that uses the symbol -- so include the new driver or changes to an existing driver in the same patchset as the export.LESS GOOD: Develop your patches out-of-tree (from an upstream Linux point-of-view). Unless these are fixing an Android-specific bug, these are very unlikely to be accepted unless they have been coordinated with kernel-team@android.com. If you want to proceed, post a patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.
