The patch below is on top of Matthias' patch series:

arm64: Implement IPI based TLB invalidation

The series is used to enable a workaround for Cavium ThunderX pass 1.x
systems.


Where are the rest of the patches in the series? I would have expected something like "[PATCH 1/X] arm64:..." with X being greater than one.

Subject: [PATCH] arm64: Add workaround for Cavium erratum 26026

STX may return a wrong status value if the store was successful.

This may happen on ThunderX T88 pass 1.x cpus if a broadcast TLBI is
executed on another cpu in parallel to an STX. As a result atomic or
non-blocking implementations can behave incorrectly. Use IPIs that
call local TLBIs on other cpus to avoid this.

Applies to ThunderX T88 pass 1.x cpus.
