[PATCH 2/2] arm64: errata: Add Cortex-A510 speculative unprivileged load workaround

Rob Herring robh at kernel.org
Wed Jan 10 09:29:21 PST 2024


Implement the workaround for ARM Cortex-A510 erratum 3117295. On an
affected Cortex-A510 core, a speculatively executed unprivileged load
might leak data from a privileged load via a cache side channel. The
issue only exists for loads within a translation regime with the same
translation (e.g. same ASID and VMID). Therefore, the issue only affects
the return to EL0.

The erratum and workaround are the same as ARM Cortex-A520 erratum
2966298, so reuse the existing workaround.
