| ======================================= |

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