364 This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
365 erratum 826319 on Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p2 with an AMBA 4 ACE or
366 AXI master interface and an L2 cache.
368 If a Cortex-A53 uses an AMBA AXI4 ACE interface to other processors

375 Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround,

386 This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
387 erratum 827319 on Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p2 with an AMBA 5 CHI
388 master interface and an L2 cache.
390 Under certain conditions this erratum can cause a clean line eviction
391 to occur at the same time as another transaction to the same address
392 on the AMBA 5 CHI interface, which can cause data corruption if the
393 interconnect reorders the two transactions.
395 The workaround promotes data cache clean instructions to
396 data cache clean-and-invalidate.
397 Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround,
398 as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch
399 the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.

408 This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
409 erratum 824069 on Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p2 when it is connected
410 to a coherent interconnect.
412 If a Cortex-A53 processor is executing a store or prefetch for
413 write instruction at the same time as a processor in another
414 cluster is executing a cache maintenance operation to the same
415 address, then this erratum might cause a clean cache line to be
416 incorrectly marked as dirty.
418 The workaround promotes data cache clean instructions to
419 data cache clean-and-invalidate.
420 Please note that this option does not necessarily enable the
421 workaround, as it depends on the alternative framework, which will
422 only patch the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.

435 If the processor is executing a load and store exclusive sequence at
436 the same time as a processor in another cluster is executing a cache
437 maintenance operation to the same address, then this erratum might
438 cause data corruption.

453 erratum 832075 on Cortex-A57 parts up to r1p2.
455 Affected Cortex-A57 parts might deadlock when exclusive load/store
456 instructions to Write-Back memory are mixed with Device loads.
458 The workaround is to promote device loads to use Load-Acquire
460 Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround,
461 as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch
462 the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.
466 config ARM64_ERRATUM_834220
467 bool "Cortex-A57: 834220: Stage 2 translation fault might be incorrectly reported in presence of a Stage 1 fault"
471 This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
472 erratum 834220 on Cortex-A57 parts up to r1p2.
474 Affected Cortex-A57 parts might report a Stage 2 translation
475 fault as the result of a Stage 1 fault for load crossing a
476 page boundary when there is a permission or device memory
477 alignment fault at Stage 1 and a translation fault at Stage 2.
479 The workaround is to verify that the Stage 1 translation
480 doesn't generate a fault before handling the Stage 2 fault.
481 Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround,
482 as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch
483 the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.
487 config ARM64_ERRATUM_845719
488 bool "Cortex-A53: 845719: a load might read incorrect data"
492 This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
493 erratum 845719 on Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p4.
495 When running a compat (AArch32) userspace on an affected Cortex-A53
496 part, a load at EL0 from a virtual address that matches the bottom 32
497 bits of the virtual address used by a recent load at (AArch64) EL1
498 might return incorrect data.
500 The workaround is to write the contextidr_el1 register on exception
501 return to a 32-bit task.
502 Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround,
503 as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch
504 the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.

513 This option links the kernel with '--fix-cortex-a53-843419' and

524 This option adds a workaround for ARM Cortex-A55 Erratum 1024718.
526 Affected Cortex-A55 cores (r0p0, r0p1, r1p0) could cause incorrect
527 update of the hardware dirty bit when the DBM/AP bits are updated
528 without a break-before-make. The workaround is to disable the usage
529 of hardware DBM locally on the affected cores. CPUs not affected by

540 errata 1188873 and 1418040.

600 On the affected Cortex-A76 cores (r0p0 to r3p0), if a virtual
601 address for a cacheable mapping of a location is being
602 accessed by a core while another core is remapping the virtual
603 address to a new physical page using the recommended
604 break-before-make sequence, then under very rare circumstances
605 TLBI+DSB completes before a read using the translation being
606 invalidated has been observed by other observers. The
607 workaround repeats the TLBI+DSB operation.
609 config ARM64_ERRATUM_1463225
610 bool "Cortex-A76: Software Step might prevent interrupt recognition"
613 This option adds a workaround for Arm Cortex-A76 erratum 1463225.
615 On the affected Cortex-A76 cores (r0p0 to r3p1), software stepping
616 of a system call instruction (SVC) can prevent recognition of
617 subsequent interrupts when software stepping is disabled in the
618 exception handler of the system call and either kernel debugging
619 is enabled or VHE is in use.
621 Work around the erratum by triggering a dummy step exception
622 when handling a system call from a task that is being stepped
623 in a VHE configuration of the kernel.

634 Affected Neoverse-N1 cores could execute a stale instruction when
635 modified by another CPU. The workaround depends on a firmware

1416 Virtualization Host Extensions (VHE) allow the kernel to run
1417 directly at EL2 (instead of EL1) on processors that support
1418 it. This leads to better performance for KVM, as they reduce

1449 On CPUs with these extensions system software can use additional

1701 If you need the kernel to boot on SVE-capable hardware with broken

1704 booting the kernel. If unsure and you are not observing these
1705 symptoms, you should assume that it is safe to say Y.
1707 CPUs that support SVE are architecturally required to support the
