[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 6/6] xen/arm: arm64: Add Cortex-A57 erratum 834220 workaround



The ARM erratum applies to certain revisions of Cortex-A57. The
processor may report a Stage 2 translation fault as the result of
Stage 1 fault for load crossing a page boundary when there is a
permission fault or device memory fault at stage 1 and a translation
fault at Stage 2.

So Xen needs to check that Stage 1 translation does not generate a fault
before handling the Stage 2 fault. If it is a Stage 1 translation fault,
return to the guest to let the processor injecting the correct fault.

+         This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
+         erratum 834220 on Cortex-A57 parts up to r1p2.
+
+         Affected Cortex-A57 parts might report a Stage 2 translation
+         fault as the result of a Stage 1 fault for load crossing a
+         page boundary when there is a permission or device memory
+         alignment fault at Stage 1 and a translation fault at Stage 2.
+
+         The workaround is to verify that the Stage 1 translation
+         doesn't generate a fault before handling the Stage 2 fault.
+         Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround,
+         as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch
+         the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.
