commit 4e4abae311e4b44aaf61f18a826fd7136037f199 upstream. Apparently, some Qualcomm arm64 platforms which appear to expose their SMMU global register space are still, in fact, using a hypervisor to mediate it by trapping and emulating register accesses. Sadly, some deployed versions of said trapping code have bugs wherein they go horribly wrong for stores using r31 (i.e. XZR/WZR) as the source register. While this can be mitigated for GCC today by tweaking the constraints for the implementation of writel_relaxed(), to avoid any potential arms race with future compilers more aggressively optimising register allocation, the simple way is to just remove all the problematic constant zeros. For the write-only TLB operations, the actual value is irrelevant anyway and any old nearby variable will provide a suitable GPR to encode. The one point at which we really do need a zero to clear a context bank happens before any of the TLB maintenance where crashes have been reported, so is apparently not a problem... :/ Reported-by: AngeloGioacchino Del Regno <kholk11@gmail.com> Tested-by: Marc Gonzalez <marc.w.gonzalez@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Marc Gonzalez <marc.w.gonzalez@free.fr> Acked-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
