f6dc1576cd arm64: arch_timer: Work around QorIQ Erratum A-008585
Erratum A-008585 says that the ARM generic timer counter "has the
potential to contain an erroneous value for a small number of core
clock cycles every time the timer value changes".  Accesses to TVAL
(both read and write) are also affected due to the implicit counter
read.  Accesses to CVAL are not affected.

The workaround is to reread TVAL and count registers until successive
reads return the same value.  Writes to TVAL are replaced with an
equivalent write to CVAL.

The workaround is to reread TVAL and count registers until successive reads
return the same value, and when writing TVAL to retry until counter
reads before and after the write return the same value.

The workaround is enabled if the fsl,erratum-a008585 property is found in
the timer node in the device tree.  This can be overridden with the
clocksource.arm_arch_timer.fsl-a008585 boot parameter, which allows KVM
users to enable the workaround until a mechanism is implemented to
automatically communicate this information.

This erratum can be found on LS1043A and LS2080A.

fbf8f40e16 irqchip/gicv3-its: numa: Enable workaround for Cavium thunderx erratum 23144
The erratum fixes the hang of ITS SYNC command by avoiding inter node
io and collections/cpu mapping on thunderx dual-socket platform.

This fix is only applicable for Cavium's ThunderX dual-socket platform.

f0cfffc48c iommu/arm-smmu: Work around MMU-500 prefetch errata
MMU-500 erratum #841119 is tickled by a particular set of circumstances
interacting with the next-page prefetcher. Since said prefetcher is
quite dumb and actually detrimental to performance in some cases (by
causing unwanted TLB evictions for non-sequential access patterns), we
lose very little by turning it off, and what we gain is a guarantee that
the erratum is never hit.

As a bonus, the same workaround will also prevent erratum #826419 once
v7 short descriptor support is implemented.

1bd37a6835 iommu/arm-smmu: Workaround for ThunderX erratum #27704
Due to erratum #27704, the CN88xx SMMUv2 implementation supports only
shared ASID and VMID numberspaces.

This patch ensures that ASID and VMIDs are unique across all SMMU
instances on affected Cavium systems.

104a0c02e8 arm64: Add workaround for Cavium erratum 27456
On ThunderX T88 pass 1.x through 2.1 parts, broadcast TLBI
instructions may cause the icache to become corrupted if it contains
data for a non-current ASID.

This patch implements the workaround (which invalidates the local
icache when switching the mm) by using code patching.

9cb9c9e5ba arm64: Documentation: add list of software workarounds for errata
It's not immediately obvious which hardware errata are worked around in
the Linux kernel for an arbitrary kernel tree, so add a file to keep
track of what we're working around.
