I'm not sure that only QC is affected by that, others may as well
have the same stupid bug.

At the moment, only QC SoCs seem to be affected, probably because
everyone else has debugged their hypervisor (or most likely doesn't
bother with shipping one).

In all honesty, we need some information from QC here: which SoCs are
affected, what is the exact nature of the bug, can it be triggered from
EL0. Randomly papering over symptoms is not something I really like
doing, and is likely to generate problems on unaffected systems.

The bug at hand is that the XZR is not deemed a valid source in the
virtualization of the SMMU registers. It was identified and fixed for
all platforms that are shipping kernels based on v4.9 or later.

When you say "fixed": Do you mean fixed in the firmware? Or by adding
a workaround in the shipped kernel?

I mean that it's fixed in the firmware.

If the former, is this part of an official QC statement, with an
associated erratum number?

I don't know, will get back to you on this one.

Is this really limited to the SMMU accesses?

Yes.

As such Angelo's list of affected platforms covers the high-profile
ones. In particular MSM8996 and MSM8998 is getting pretty good support
upstream, if we can figure out a way around this issue.

We'd need an exhaustive list of the affected SoCs, and work out if we
can limit the hack to the SMMU driver (cc'ing Robin, who's the one
who'd know about it).

I will try to compose a list.

FWIW, I have just been bitten by this issue. I needed to enable an SMMU to
filter PCIe EP accesses to system RAM (or something). I'm using an APQ8098
MEDIABOX dev board. My system hangs in arm_smmu_device_reset() doing:

/* Invalidate the TLB, just in case */
writel_relaxed(0, gr0_base + ARM_SMMU_GR0_TLBIALLH);
writel_relaxed(0, gr0_base + ARM_SMMU_GR0_TLBIALLNSNH);


With the 'Z' constraint, gcc generates:

str wzr, [x0]

without the 'Z' constraint, gcc generates:

mov w1, 0
str w1, [x0]


I can work around the problem using the following patch:

Can a quirk be used to work around the issue?
Or can we just "pessimize" the 3 writes for everybody?
(Might be cheaper than a test anyway)

If it really is just the SMMU driver which is affected, we can work around it for free (not counting the 'cost' of slightly-weird-looking code, of course). If the diff below works as expected, I'll write it up properly.

Robin.
