+Subject: ARM: NEON L1 cache bug workaround (erratum 451034)
+X-Git-Url: http://git.mansr.com/?p=linux-omap;a=commitdiff_plain;h=26023493baf13e0a67fd6cf08d87be5ff6f7c56d
+
+ARM: NEON L1 cache bug workaround (erratum 451034)
+
+On Cortex-A8 r1p0 and r1p1, executing a NEON store with an integer
+store in the store buffer, can cause a processor deadlock under
+certain conditions.
+
+Executing a DMB instruction before saving NEON/VFP registers and before
+return to userspace makes it safe to run code which includes similar
+counter-measures.  Userspace code can still trigger the deadlock, so
+a different workaround is required to safely run untrusted code.
+
+See ARM Cortex-A8 Errata Notice (PR120-PRDC-008070) for full details.
