[RFC PATCH 3/3] arm64: errata: Disable FWB on parts with non-ARM interconnects

Force Write Back (FWB) allows the hypervisor to force non-cacheable
accesses made by a guest to be cacheable. This saves the hypervisor
from doing cache maintenance on all pages the guest can access, to
ensure the guest doesn't see stale (and possibly sensitive) data when
making a non-cacheable access.
When stage1 translation is disabled, the SCTRL_E1.I bit controls the
attributes used for instruction fetch, one of the options results in a
non-cacheable access. A whole host of CPUs missed the FWB override
in this case, meaning a KVM guest could fetch stale/junk data instead of
instructions.
The workaround is to always do the cache maintenance. These parts don't
have fine-grained-traps, so it isn't feasible to detect the guest
disabling the MMU. Instead, disable FWB on the host.
While the CPUs are affected, this erratum doesn't occur on parts using
Arm's CMN interconnects. Use the Errata Management API to discover whether
this CPU is affected.
Because guest execution is compromised, the workaround is enabled by
default. If the Errata Management API isn't implemented by firmware, the
workaround will be enabled. If a target platform is not affected, and it
isn't possible to add support for the Errata Management API, the erratum
can be disabled in Kconfig.

+ This option adds the workaround for multiple ARM errata titled
+ "The core might fetch stale instruction from memory when both Stage 1
+ Translation and Instruction Cache are Disabled with Stage 2 forced
+ Write-Back".
+ This affects Cortex cores: A78, A78C, A710, X1, X2, X3, and Neoverse
+ cores: V1, V2 and N2.
+
+ Affected cores fail to apply the FWB override to instruction fetch
+ when stage1 translation is disabled, and SCTLR_EL1.I is clear. This
+ results in stale data being fetched and executed. Only CPUs that are
+ connected to a non-Arm interconnect will exhibit symptoms due to this
+ errata.
+
+ Work around this problem in the driver by disabling FWB on affected
+ parts. The SMCCC Errata Management API is used to query firmware to
+ learn if the part is affected.
+
+ If the SMCCC Errata Management API is not implemented on a platform
+ with an affected core, the workaround will be applied.
+
+ If unsure, say Y.
