arm64: apply ARM64_ERRATUM_843419 workaround for Brahma-B53 core

2019-11-12T18:28:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1cf45b8fdbb87040e1d1bd793891089f4678aa41 ] The Broadcom Brahma-B53 core is susceptible to the issue described by ARM64_ERRATUM_843419 so this commit enables the workaround to be applied when executing on that core. Since there are now multiple entries to match, we must convert the existing ARM64_ERRATUM_843419 into an erratum list and use cpucap_multi_entry_cap_matches to match our entries.

arm64: Update silicon-errata.txt for Neoverse-N1 #1349291

2019-07-05T12:03:30+00:00

Neoverse-N1 affected by #1349291 may report an Uncontained RAS Error as Unrecoverable. The kernel's architecture code already considers Unrecoverable errors as fatal as without kernel-first support no further error-handling is possible. Now that KVM attributes SError to the host/guest more precisely the host's architecture code will always handle host errors that become pending during world-switch. Errors misclassified by this errata that affected the guest will be re-injected to the guest as an implementation-defined SError, which can be uncontained. Until kernel-first support is implemented, no workaround is needed for this issue. Signed-off-by: James Morse Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier
