+Silicon Errata and Software Workarounds
+=======================================

+
+It is an unfortunate fact of life that hardware is often produced with
+so-called "errata", which can cause it to deviate from the architecture
+under specific circumstances. For hardware produced by ARM, these
+errata are broadly classified into the following categories:
+
+ ========== ========================================================
+ Category A A critical error without a viable workaround.
+ Category B A significant or critical error with an acceptable
+ workaround.
+ Category C A minor error that is not expected to occur under normal
+ operation.
+ ========== ========================================================
+
+For more information, consult one of the "Software Developers Errata
+Notice" documents available on infocenter.arm.com (registration
+required).
+
+As far as Linux is concerned, Category B errata may require some special
+treatment in the operating system. For example, avoiding a particular
+sequence of code, or configuring the processor in a particular way. A
+less common situation may require similar actions in order to declassify
+a Category A erratum into a Category C erratum. These are collectively
+known as "software workarounds" and are only required in the minority of
+cases (e.g. those cases that both require a non-secure workaround *and*
+can be triggered by Linux).
+
+For software workarounds that may adversely impact systems unaffected by
+the erratum in question, a Kconfig entry is added under "Kernel
+Features" -> "ARM errata workarounds via the alternatives framework".
+These are enabled by default and patched in at runtime when an affected
+CPU is detected. For less-intrusive workarounds, a Kconfig option is not
+available and the code is structured (preferably with a comment) in such
+a way that the erratum will not be hit.
+
+This approach can make it slightly onerous to determine exactly which
+errata are worked around in an arbitrary kernel source tree, so this
+file acts as a registry of software workarounds in the Linux Kernel and
+will be updated when new workarounds are committed and backported to
+stable kernels.
