| 1009 | This option enables the workaround for the 753970 PL310 (r3p0) erratum. |
| 1010 | |
| 1011 | Under some condition the effect of cache sync operation on |
| 1012 | the store buffer still remains when the operation completes. |
| 1013 | This means that the store buffer is always asked to drain and |
| 1014 | this prevents it from merging any further writes. The workaround |
| 1015 | is to replace the normal offset of cache sync operation (0x730) |
| 1016 | by another offset targeting an unmapped PL310 register 0x740. |
| 1017 | This has the same effect as the cache sync operation: store buffer |
| 1018 | drain and waiting for all buffers empty. |

| 1020 | config PL310_ERRATA_769419 |
| 1021 | bool "PL310 errata: no automatic Store Buffer drain" |
| 1022 | help |
| 1023 | On revisions of the PL310 prior to r3p2, the Store Buffer does |
| 1024 | not automatically drain. This can cause normal, non-cacheable |
| 1025 | writes to be retained when the memory system is idle, leading |
| 1026 | to suboptimal I/O performance for drivers using coherent DMA. |
| 1027 | This option adds a write barrier to the cpu_idle loop so that, |
| 1028 | on systems with an outer cache, the store buffer is drained |
| 1029 | explicitly. |

| 1081 | Historically, the kernel has used strongly ordered mappings to |
| 1082 | provide DMA coherent memory. With the advent of ARMv7, mapping |
| 1083 | memory with differing types results in unpredictable behaviour, |
| 1084 | so on these CPUs, this option is forced on. |
| 1085 | |
| 1086 | Multiple mappings with differing attributes is also unpredictable |
| 1087 | on ARMv6 CPUs, but since they do not have aggressive speculative |
| 1088 | prefetch, no harm appears to occur. |
| 1089 | |
| 1090 | However, drivers may be missing the necessary barriers for ARMv6, |
| 1091 | and therefore turning this on may result in unpredictable driver |
| 1092 | behaviour. Therefore, we offer this as an option. |
| 1093 | |
| 1094 | On some of the beefier ARMv7-M machines (with DMA and write |
| 1095 | buffers) you likely want this enabled, while those that |
| 1096 | didn't need it until now also won't need it in the future. |
| 1097 | |
| 1098 | You are recommended say 'Y' here and debug any affected drivers. |
