2Silicon Errata and Software Workarounds

9It is an unfortunate fact of life that hardware is often produced with
10so-called "errata", which can cause it to deviate from the architecture
11under specific circumstances.  For hardware produced by ARM, these
12errata are broadly classified into the following categories:
13
14  ==========  ========================================================
15  Category A  A critical error without a viable workaround.
16  Category B  A significant or critical error with an acceptable
17              workaround.
18  Category C  A minor error that is not expected to occur under normal
19              operation.
20  ==========  ========================================================
21
22For more information, consult one of the "Software Developers Errata
23Notice" documents available on infocenter.arm.com (registration
24required).
25
26As far as Linux is concerned, Category B errata may require some special
27treatment in the operating system. For example, avoiding a particular
28sequence of code, or configuring the processor in a particular way. A
29less common situation may require similar actions in order to declassify
30a Category A erratum into a Category C erratum. These are collectively
31known as "software workarounds" and are only required in the minority of
32cases (e.g. those cases that both require a non-secure workaround *and*
33can be triggered by Linux).
34
35For software workarounds that may adversely impact systems unaffected by
36the erratum in question, a Kconfig entry is added under "Kernel
37Features" -> "ARM errata workarounds via the alternatives framework".
38These are enabled by default and patched in at runtime when an affected
39CPU is detected. For less-intrusive workarounds, a Kconfig option is not
40available and the code is structured (preferably with a comment) in such
41a way that the erratum will not be hit.
42
43This approach can make it slightly onerous to determine exactly which
44errata are worked around in an arbitrary kernel source tree, so this
45file acts as a registry of software workarounds in the Linux Kernel and
46will be updated when new workarounds are committed and backported to
47stable kernels.
