[ Upstream commit 3bd94a8759de9b724b83a80942b0354acd7701eb ]

TRBE implementations affected by Arm erratum #2038923 might get TRBE into
an inconsistent view on whether trace is prohibited within the CPU. As a
result, the trace buffer or trace buffer state might be corrupted. This
happens after TRBE buffer has been enabled by setting TRBLIMITR_EL1.E,
followed by just a single context synchronization event before execution
changes from a context, in which trace is prohibited to one where it isn't,
or vice versa. In these mentioned conditions, the view of whether trace is
prohibited is inconsistent between parts of the CPU, and the trace buffer
or the trace buffer state might be corrupted. This adds a new errata
ARM64_ERRATUM_2038923 in arm64 errata framework.

+	  This option adds the workaround for ARM Cortex-A510 erratum 2038923.
+
+	  Affected Cortex-A510 core might cause an inconsistent view on whether trace is
+	  prohibited within the CPU. As a result, the trace buffer or trace buffer state
+	  might be corrupted. This happens after TRBE buffer has been enabled by setting
+	  TRBLIMITR_EL1.E, followed by just a single context synchronization event before

+	  isn't, or vice versa. In these mentioned conditions, the view of whether trace
+	  is prohibited is inconsistent between parts of the CPU, and the trace buffer or
+	  the trace buffer state might be corrupted.
+
+	  Work around this in the driver by preventing an inconsistent view of whether the
+	  trace is prohibited or not based on TRBLIMITR_EL1.E by immediately following a
+	  change to TRBLIMITR_EL1.E with at least one ISB instruction before an ERET, or
+	  two ISB instructions if no ERET is to take place.
