Merge branch 'for-next/neoverse-n1-stale-instr' into for-next/core
Neoverse-N1 cores with the 'COHERENT_ICACHE' feature may fetch stale
instructions when software depends on prefetch-speculation-protection
instead of explicit synchronization. [0]
The workaround is to trap I-Cache maintenance and issue an
inner-shareable TLBI. The affected cores have a Coherent I-Cache, so the
I-Cache maintenance isn't necessary. The core tells user-space it can
skip it with CTR_EL0.DIC. We also have to trap this register to hide the
bit forcing DIC-aware user-space to perform the maintenance.
To avoid trapping all cache-maintenance, this workaround depends on
a firmware component that only traps I-cache maintenance from EL0 and
performs the workaround.
For user-space, the kernel's work is to trap CTR_EL0 to hide DIC, and
produce a fake IminLine. EL3 traps the now-necessary I-Cache maintenance
and performs the inner-shareable-TLBI that makes everything better.
