Zhen Lei d6cab2e06c ARM: 9210/1: Mark the FDT_FIXED sections as shareable
[ Upstream commit 598f0a99fa8a35be44b27106b43ddc66417af3b1 ]

commit 7a1be318f579 ("ARM: 9012/1: move device tree mapping out of linear
region") use FDT_FIXED_BASE to map the whole FDT_FIXED_SIZE memory area
which contains fdt. But it only reserves the exact physical memory that
fdt occupied. Unfortunately, this mapping is non-shareable. An illegal or
speculative read access can bring the RAM content from non-fdt zone into
cache, PIPT makes it to be hit by subsequently read access through
shareable mapping(such as linear mapping), and the cache consistency
between cores is lost due to non-shareable property.

|<---------FDT_FIXED_SIZE------>|
|                               |
 -------------------------------
| <non-fdt> | <fdt> | <non-fdt> |
 -------------------------------

1. CoreA read <non-fdt> through MT_ROM mapping, the old data is loaded
   into the cache.
2. CoreB write <non-fdt> to update data through linear mapping. CoreA
   received the notification to invalid the corresponding cachelines, but
   the property non-shareable makes it to be ignored.
3. CoreA read <non-fdt> through linear mapping, cache hit, the old data
   is read.

To eliminate this risk, add a new memory type MT_MEMORY_RO. Compared to
MT_ROM, it is shareable and non-executable.

Here's an example:
  list_del corruption. prev->next should be c0ecbf74, but was c08410dc
  kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:53!
  ... ...
  PC is at __list_del_entry_valid+0x58/0x98
  LR is at __list_del_entry_valid+0x58/0x98
  psr: 60000093

  bf40: c0eca000 c0840c00 c0840c00 c0824500 c0825e0c c0189bbc c088f404 60000013

  ... ...                                           <  next     prev  >
  (__list_del_entry_valid) from (__list_del_entry+0xc/0x20)
  (__list_del_entry) from (finish_swait+0x60/0x7c)
  (finish_swait) from (rcu_gp_kthread+0x560/0xa20)
  (rcu_gp_kthread) from (kthread+0x14c/0x15c)
  (kthread) from (ret_from_fork+0x14/0x24)

The faulty list node to be deleted is a local variable, its address is
c0ecbf74. The dumped stack shows that 'prev' = c0ecbf74, but its value
before lib/list_debug.c:53 is c08410dc. A large amount of printing results
in swapping out the cacheline containing the old data(MT_ROM mapping is
read only, so the cacheline cannot be dirty), and the subsequent dump
operation obtains new data from the DDR.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
