Subject: [PATCH v1 1/6] arm64: cpufeature: Remove Neoverse-V3/AE from the BBML3 allow list
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 14:50:15 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113145022.2592454-2-ryan.roberts@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113145022.2592454-1-ryan.roberts@arm.com>
Neoverse-V3 and Neoverse-V3AE erratum 3053180 can cause a load or store
to livelock when mapping size changes without break-before-make or when
contiguous hints are programmed inconsistently.
The erratum was previously reported as fixed in r0p2. On that basis,
commit 5aa4b625762e ("arm64: Add BBM Level 2 cpu feature") allowed
Neoverse-V3 from r0p2, and commit 8fca3852e33d ("arm64: cpufeature: add
Neoverse-V3AE to BBML2 allow list") did the same for Neoverse-V3AE.
The updated SDENs, MP168 v11 for Neoverse-V3 and MP172 v12 for
Neoverse-V3AE, dated 9 June 2026, list r0p0, r0p1 and r0p2 as affected
and the erratum as open. There is no fixed revision on which to base
either allow-list entry.
Remove both entries so these CPUs observe break-before-make, and record
the workaround in the silicon errata registry.
