Subject: [PATCH 3/6] arm64: io: replace NVIDIA Olympus erratum alternative with callback
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 14:30:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260928133034.243541-4-ada.coupriediaz@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260928133034.243541-1-ada.coupriediaz@arm.com>
`__raw_read{b,w,l,q}()` represent about 10k call sites
that need to be patched.
Commit 12aab25ca56e ("arm64: errata: work around NVIDIA Olympus
device store/load ordering") implements its workaround with alternative
instructions, adding 10k extra instructions growing the size of the image.
Implement and use `__io_nvidia_olympus_patch_dmb()` as
a callback alternative instead, saving close to 40kB of image size
with a defconfig.
As the alternative fix replaced a NOP with a DMB in all cases,
make use of `aarch64_insn_gen_dmb()` which was made alternative-safe
in previous commits.
The callback needs to be added to the KVM NVHE namespace as `readl()`
is used in the vgic-v2 driver.
