This series works around the NVIDIA Olympus device store/load ordering
erratum (T410-OLY-1027): a Device-nGnR* load can be observed by a
peripheral before an older, non-overlapping Device-nGnR* store to the
same peripheral, breaking the program order that drivers rely on for
MMIO and potentially leaving a device in an incorrect state.
Patch 1 adds the workaround. It promotes the raw MMIO store helpers
(__raw_writeb/w/l/q, and therefore writel()/writel_relaxed()) to
store-release on affected CPUs, and promotes the trailing DGH of the
write-combining __iowrite{32,64}_copy() helpers to dmb osh. Everything is
gated on a new ARM64_WORKAROUND_DEVICE_STORE_RELEASE cpucap and patched
in only on affected parts, so it is a no-op elsewhere.
Patch 2 provides arm64 memset_io()/memcpy_toio(). The generic versions
are built on __raw_write*(), so patch 1 would promote every store in a
block to a store-release; as each STLR drains the write-combining buffer,
block MMIO becomes O(n) store-releases. The arm64 versions emit plain
STR in the loop and order the whole block with a single trailing dmb osh,
keeping block MMIO at one-barrier cost.
Performance: NVIDIA Olympus, write-combining MMIO to a device BAR, single
PE pinned; per-call cost in ns. Consecutive writes ping-pong between two
buffers so repeated stores are not coalesced. iowrite64/iowrite32 =
__iowrite{64,32}_copy().

the generic memset_io()/memcpy_toio() build on __raw_write*(), which the
workaround promotes to store-release, so every store is individually
ordered - hence O(n) in the store count.
Tables 2 and 3 show why patch 2 is needed: the generic per-store block
writers collapse to O(n) under the workaround (4KB ~314x slower, ~115 us
vs ~366 ns), while the arm64 versions stay flat at one-barrier cost.
Changes since v3:
- Split the workaround into two patches: the erratum fix (1/2) and the
arm64 memset_io()/memcpy_toio() block writers (2/2).
- Reworked the raw MMIO write helpers to use a direct base-register
str*/stlr* alternative sequence instead of a per-write static branch.
- Covered the write-combining __iowrite{32,64}_copy() path by patching
dgh() to dmb osh on affected CPUs, keeping the contiguous STR groups
and the ordering barrier outside the copy loop; the single-element
case now uses a plain str* as well.
- Added arm64 memset_io()/memcpy_toio() so the byte/word block writers
take one trailing dmb osh instead of a per-store store-release.
- Updated the commit messages to describe the offset-addressing
trade-off.
Changes since v2:
- Reworked the raw MMIO write helpers so unaffected CPUs keep the
existing offset-addressed STR sequence, while affected CPUs use the
base-register STLR path.
- Updated the commit message to match the code changes.
- Rebased on top of the arm64 for-next/errata branch:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux.git/log/?h=for-next/errata
Changes since v1:
- Updated the commit message based on feedback from Vladimir Murzin.

On systems with NVIDIA Olympus cores, a Device-nGnR* load can be
observed by a peripheral before an older, non-overlapping Device-nGnR*
store to the same peripheral. This breaks the program-order guarantee
that software expects for Device-nGnR* accesses and can leave a
peripheral in an incorrect state, as a load is observed before an
earlier store takes effect.
The erratum can occur only when all of the following apply:
- A PE executes a Device-nGnR* store followed by a younger
Device-nGnR* load.
- The store is not a store-release.
- The accesses target the same peripheral and do not overlap in bytes.
- There is at most one intervening Device-nGnR* store in program
order, and there are no intervening Device-nGnR* loads.
- There is no DSB, and no DMB that orders loads, between the store and
the load.
- Specific micro-architectural and timing conditions occur.
Promote the raw MMIO store helpers (__raw_writeb/w/l/q) from plain str*
to stlr* (Store-Release) on affected CPUs, which removes the "store is
not a store-release" condition for every device write the kernel issues.
Because writel() and writel_relaxed() are both built on __raw_writel()
in asm-generic/io.h, patching the raw variants covers both the
non-relaxed and relaxed APIs without touching the higher layers. Note
that writel()'s own barrier sits before the store, so it does not order
the store against a subsequent readl(); the store-release promotion is
what provides that ordering.
Like ARM64_ERRATUM_832075 on the load side, the change is gated on a new
ARM64_WORKAROUND_DEVICE_STORE_RELEASE capability and only activated on
parts that match MIDR_NVIDIA_OLYMPUS, so unaffected CPUs continue to use
plain str* instructions.
Note: stlr* only supports base-register addressing, so the raw MMIO
write helpers use a base-register str*/stlr* alternative sequence. This
gives up the offset-addressed str* code generation introduced by commit
d044d6ba6f02 ("arm64: io: permit offset addressing"). A static-branch
implementation would add extra control flow without preserving the
desired offset-addressed code generation in practice, so use a direct
base-register str*/stlr* alternative instead.
For the write-combining copy helpers (__iowrite{32,64}_copy()), the
contiguous str* groups are kept, because replacing those stores would
defeat the write-combining behaviour used to improve store performance.
Rather than rely on the relaxed, no-ordering contract of these helpers -
which would leave affected CPUs behaving differently from every other
arm64 system and exposed to any future driver that depends on ordering
across such copies - the DGH hint emitted once after each copy is
promoted to dmb osh on affected CPUs. That orders the grouped stores
against subsequent loads without placing a barrier in the copy loop,
while unaffected CPUs keep the existing DGH hint. The single-element
case of __const_memcpy_toio_aligned{32,64}() likewise uses a plain str*
(instead of __raw_write*()) so it shares that str* group + DGH path
rather than taking a per-store store-release.

The generic memset_io()/memcpy_toio() are built on __raw_write*(), so on
parts with the NVIDIA Olympus device store/load ordering erratum the
ARM64_WORKAROUND_DEVICE_STORE_RELEASE workaround promotes every store in
the block to a store-release. Each stlr* carries a barrier cost, so block
MMIO becomes O(n) store-releases, making a block copy many times slower
than a single ordered burst and growing with the transfer size.
Provide arm64 memset_io()/memcpy_toio() that emit plain str* in the loop
and order the whole block against subsequent loads with a single
trailing dmb osh on affected CPUs (a no-op elsewhere, preserving the
relaxed contract of these helpers). This keeps block MMIO writes at
one-barrier cost rather than scaling with the transfer size.
Performance (NVIDIA Olympus, write-combining MMIO to a device BAR, single
PE pinned; per-call cost in ns; consecutive writes ping-pong between two
buffers so repeated stores are not coalesced; iowrite64/iowrite32 =
__iowrite{64,32}_copy()):

the generic memset_io()/memcpy_toio() build on __raw_write*(), which the
workaround promotes to store-release, so every store is individually
ordered - hence O(n) in the store count.
The arm64 versions stay flat at one-barrier cost while the generic
per-store writers collapse to O(n): at 4KB ~314x slower (~115 us vs
~366 ns).

+ * Provide arm64 versions that emit plain STR in the loop and order the whole

+ * affected CPUs (a no-op elsewhere, so the relaxed contract of these helpers is
+ * preserved).
+ *
+ * This capability is currently enabled only for the NVIDIA Olympus device
+ * store/load ordering erratum, where a Device-nGnR* load may be observed before
