default y
help
This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around Ampere
erratum AC03_CPU_38 on AmpereOne.
The affected design reports FEAT_HAFDBS as not implemented in
ID_AA64MMFR1_EL1.HAFDBS, but (V)TCR_ELx.{HA,HD} are not RES0
as required by the architecture. The unadvertised HAFDBS
implementation suffers from an additional erratum where hardware
A/D updates can occur after a PTE has been marked invalid.
The workaround forces KVM to explicitly set VTCR_EL2.HA to 0,
which avoids enabling unadvertised hardware Access Flag management
at stage-2.
If unsure, say Y.

select ARM64_WORKAROUND_CLEAN_CACHE
help
This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
erratum 826319 on Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p2 with an AMBA 4 ACE or
AXI master interface and an L2 cache.
If a Cortex-A53 uses an AMBA AXI4 ACE interface to other processors
and is unable to accept a certain write via this interface, it will
not progress on read data presented on the read data channel and the
system can deadlock.
The workaround promotes data cache clean instructions to
data cache clean-and-invalidate.
Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround,
as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch
the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.
If unsure, say Y.

help
This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
erratum 827319 on Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p2 with an AMBA 5 CHI
master interface and an L2 cache.
Under certain conditions this erratum can cause a clean line eviction
to occur at the same time as another transaction to the same address
on the AMBA 5 CHI interface, which can cause data corruption if the
interconnect reorders the two transactions.
The workaround promotes data cache clean instructions to
data cache clean-and-invalidate.
Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround,
as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch
the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.
If unsure, say Y.

bool "Cortex-A53: 824069: Cache line might not be marked as clean after a CleanShared snoop"

select ARM64_WORKAROUND_CLEAN_CACHE
help
This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
erratum 824069 on Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p2 when it is connected
to a coherent interconnect.
If a Cortex-A53 processor is executing a store or prefetch for
write instruction at the same time as a processor in another
cluster is executing a cache maintenance operation to the same
address, then this erratum might cause a clean cache line to be
incorrectly marked as dirty.
The workaround promotes data cache clean instructions to
data cache clean-and-invalidate.
Please note that this option does not necessarily enable the
workaround, as it depends on the alternative framework, which will
only patch the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.
If unsure, say Y.

help
This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
erratum 819472 on Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p1 with an L2 cache
present when it is connected to a coherent interconnect.
If the processor is executing a load and store exclusive sequence at
the same time as a processor in another cluster is executing a cache
maintenance operation to the same address, then this erratum might
cause data corruption.
The workaround promotes data cache clean instructions to
data cache clean-and-invalidate.
Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround,
as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch
the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.
If unsure, say Y.
config ARM64_ERRATUM_832075

default y
help
This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
erratum 832075 on Cortex-A57 parts up to r1p2.
Affected Cortex-A57 parts might deadlock when exclusive load/store
instructions to Write-Back memory are mixed with Device loads.
The workaround is to promote device loads to use Load-Acquire
semantics.
Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround,
as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch
the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.
If unsure, say Y.
config ARM64_ERRATUM_834220
bool "Cortex-A57: 834220: Stage 2 translation fault might be incorrectly reported in presence of a Stage 1 fault"
depends on KVM
default y
help
This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
erratum 834220 on Cortex-A57 parts up to r1p2.
Affected Cortex-A57 parts might report a Stage 2 translation
fault as the result of a Stage 1 fault for load crossing a
page boundary when there is a permission or device memory
alignment fault at Stage 1 and a translation fault at Stage 2.
The workaround is to verify that the Stage 1 translation
doesn't generate a fault before handling the Stage 2 fault.
Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround,
as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch
the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.
If unsure, say Y.

default y
help
This option removes the AES hwcap for aarch32 user-space to
workaround erratum 1742098 on Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A72.
Affected parts may corrupt the AES state if an interrupt is
taken between a pair of AES instructions. These instructions
are only present if the cryptography extensions are present.
All software should have a fallback implementation for CPUs
that don't implement the cryptography extensions.
If unsure, say Y.
config ARM64_ERRATUM_845719

help
This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
erratum 845719 on Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p4.
When running a compat (AArch32) userspace on an affected Cortex-A53
part, a load at EL0 from a virtual address that matches the bottom 32
bits of the virtual address used by a recent load at (AArch64) EL1
might return incorrect data.
The workaround is to write the contextidr_el1 register on exception
return to a 32-bit task.
Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround,
as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch
the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.
If unsure, say Y.

This option adds a workaround for ARM Cortex-A55 Erratum 1024718.
Affected Cortex-A55 cores (all revisions) could cause incorrect
update of the hardware dirty bit when the DBM/AP bits are updated

of hardware DBM locally on the affected cores. CPUs not affected by

Affected Cortex-A510 core might cause an inconsistent view on whether trace is
prohibited within the CPU. As a result, the trace buffer or trace buffer state
might be corrupted. This happens after TRBE buffer has been enabled by setting
TRBLIMITR_EL1.E, followed by just a single context synchronization event before
execution changes from a context, in which trace is prohibited to one where it
isn't, or vice versa. In these mentioned conditions, the view of whether trace
is prohibited is inconsistent between parts of the CPU, and the trace buffer or
the trace buffer state might be corrupted.
Work around this in the driver by preventing an inconsistent view of whether the
trace is prohibited or not based on TRBLIMITR_EL1.E by immediately following a
change to TRBLIMITR_EL1.E with at least one ISB instruction before an ERET, or

Provide a set of default command-line options at build time by
entering them here. As a minimum, you should specify the the
root device (e.g. root=/dev/nfs).

default CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER
help
Choose how the kernel will handle the provided default kernel
command line string.
config CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER
bool "Use bootloader kernel arguments if available"
help
Uses the command-line options passed by the boot loader. If
the boot loader doesn't provide any, the default kernel command
string provided in CMDLINE will be used.
config CMDLINE_FORCE
bool "Always use the default kernel command string"
help
Always use the default kernel command string, even if the boot
loader passes other arguments to the kernel.
This is useful if you cannot or don't want to change the
command-line options your boot loader passes to the kernel.

This option provides support for runtime services provided
by UEFI firmware (such as non-volatile variables, realtime
clock, and platform reset). A UEFI stub is also provided to
allow the kernel to be booted as an EFI application. This
is only useful on systems that have UEFI firmware.
config DMI
bool "Enable support for SMBIOS (DMI) tables"
depends on EFI
default y
help
This enables SMBIOS/DMI feature for systems.
This option is only useful on systems that have UEFI firmware.
However, even with this option, the resultant kernel should
continue to boot on existing non-UEFI platforms.
