Flushing the L1 cache line before being written (even though it will be immediately brought back into the cache) will prevent a micro-architectural condition that causes the erratum (the processor writing the page table must hit in the L1 cache). -- Catalin ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 15+ messages in thread

Have you hit this in practice? In general the kernel shouldn't access kernel virtual address corresponding to a page table that is being changed.

I believe that Abe-san's team have come up against this, I can confirm that if it is important. ---------------------------------------------------------------- From: Kouei Abe <kouei.abe.cp@rms.renesas.com> arm: Add ARM ERRATA 782773 workaround This is a workaround for Errata 782773 which effects all r0, r2 and r3 revisions. The work-around avoids the possibility of an MMU exception in the case where a page table walk occurs immediately after a page table update that hasn't been flushed from the L1 data cache.

I'd like to know whether this is actually hit in practice and the conditions. The only time when we write live (i.e. translation that's currently in use) kernel mappings is during boot, alloc_init_section() replacing (though with the same value) the initial memory map. But if that's the scenario you are getting, I would rather add another flush_pmd_entry() call before setting the pmd in alloc_init_section(). I'm not convinced a costly run-time workaround in set_pte is needed. -- Catalin ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 15+ messages in thread

Hi Catalin, I have discussed this the issue that you raised above with the platform team that provided me with the workaround. Although they have not encountered a situation in which the errata is hit they would like the workaround considered for merging as it is needed for compliance with customer requirements, in this case an automotive customer (I do not know which one). ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 15+ messages in thread
