361 This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
362 erratum 826319 on Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p2 with an AMBA 4 ACE or
363 AXI master interface and an L2 cache.

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

405 This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
406 erratum 824069 on Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p2 when it is connected
407 to a coherent interconnect.
409 If a Cortex-A53 processor is executing a store or prefetch for
410 write instruction at the same time as a processor in another
411 cluster is executing a cache maintenance operation to the same
412 address, then this erratum might cause a clean cache line to be
413 incorrectly marked as dirty.
415 The workaround promotes data cache clean instructions to
416 data cache clean-and-invalidate.

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

450 erratum 832075 on Cortex-A57 parts up to r1p2.
452 Affected Cortex-A57 parts might deadlock when exclusive load/store
453 instructions to Write-Back memory are mixed with Device loads.
455 The workaround is to promote device loads to use Load-Acquire
457 Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround,
458 as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch
459 the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.
463 config ARM64_ERRATUM_834220
464 bool "Cortex-A57: 834220: Stage 2 translation fault might be incorrectly reported in presence of a Stage 1 fault"
468 This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
469 erratum 834220 on Cortex-A57 parts up to r1p2.

472 fault as the result of a Stage 1 fault for load crossing a
473 page boundary when there is a permission or device memory
474 alignment fault at Stage 1 and a translation fault at Stage 2.
476 The workaround is to verify that the Stage 1 translation
477 doesn't generate a fault before handling the Stage 2 fault.

479 as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch
480 the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.
484 config ARM64_ERRATUM_845719

489 This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
490 erratum 845719 on Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p4.
492 When running a compat (AArch32) userspace on an affected Cortex-A53
493 part, a load at EL0 from a virtual address that matches the bottom 32
494 bits of the virtual address used by a recent load at (AArch64) EL1
495 might return incorrect data.
497 The workaround is to write the contextidr_el1 register on exception
498 return to a 32-bit task.
499 Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround,
500 as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch
501 the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.

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

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

597 On the affected Cortex-A76 cores (r0p0 to r3p0), if a virtual
598 address for a cacheable mapping of a location is being
599 accessed by a core while another core is remapping the virtual
600 address to a new physical page using the recommended
601 break-before-make sequence, then under very rare circumstances
602 TLBI+DSB completes before a read using the translation being
603 invalidated has been observed by other observers. The
604 workaround repeats the TLBI+DSB operation.

607 bool "Cortex-A76: Software Step might prevent interrupt recognition"
610 This option adds a workaround for Arm Cortex-A76 erratum 1463225.
612 On the affected Cortex-A76 cores (r0p0 to r3p1), software stepping
613 of a system call instruction (SVC) can prevent recognition of
614 subsequent interrupts when software stepping is disabled in the
615 exception handler of the system call and either kernel debugging
616 is enabled or VHE is in use.
618 Work around the erratum by triggering a dummy step exception
619 when handling a system call from a task that is being stepped
620 in a VHE configuration of the kernel.

631 Affected Neoverse-N1 cores could execute a stale instruction when

651 KVM guests must also have the workaround implemented or they can

740 On some variants of the Fujitsu-A64FX cores ver(1.0, 1.1), memory
741 accesses may cause undefined fault (Data abort, DFSC=0b111111).
742 This fault occurs under a specific hardware condition when a

1403 atomic instructions that are designed specifically to scale in
1406 Say Y here to make use of these instructions for the in-kernel

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
1419 the cost of the world switch.

1435 be overridden to be privileged.
1437 This option changes get_user() and friends to use the 'unprivileged'
1438 variant of the load/store instructions. This ensures that user-space
1439 really did have access to the supplied memory. When addr_limit is
1440 set to kernel memory the UAO bit will be set, allowing privileged

1468 errors, classify them and report them to software.
1470 On CPUs with these extensions system software can use additional
1471 barriers to determine if faults are pending and read the
1472 classification from a new set of registers.
1474 Selecting this feature will allow the kernel to use these barriers

1511 This option enables these instructions at EL0 (i.e. for userspace).
1512 Choosing this option will cause the kernel to initialise secret keys

1516 If the compiler supports the -mbranch-protection or

1718 If you need the kernel to boot on SVE-capable hardware with broken

1724 CPUs that support SVE are architecturally required to support the
