From 3fed7e0059f0af1d0e71e165145a1e3030526835 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lucas Wei Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2026 14:52:41 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: errata: Workaround for SI L1 downstream coherency issue When software issues a Cache Maintenance Operation (CMO) targeting a dirty cache line, the CPU and DSU cluster may optimize the operation by combining the CopyBack Write and CMO into a single combined CopyBack Write plus CMO transaction presented to the interconnect (MCN). For these combined transactions, the MCN splits the operation into two separate transactions, one Write and one CMO, and then propagates the write and optionally the CMO to the downstream memory system or external Point of Serialization (PoS). However, the MCN may return an early CompCMO response to the DSU cluster before the corresponding Write and CMO transactions have completed at the external PoS or downstream memory. As a result, stale data may be observed by external observers that are directly connected to the external PoS or downstream memory. This erratum affects any system topology in which the following conditions apply: - The Point of Serialization (PoS) is located downstream of the interconnect. - A downstream observer accesses memory directly, bypassing the interconnect. Conditions: This erratum occurs only when all of the following conditions are met: 1. Software executes a data cache maintenance operation, specifically, a clean or clean&invalidate by virtual address (DC CVAC or DC CIVAC), that hits on unique dirty data in the CPU or DSU cache. This results in a combined CopyBack and CMO being issued to the interconnect. 2. The interconnect splits the combined transaction into separate Write and CMO transactions and returns an early completion response to the CPU or DSU before the write has completed at the downstream memory or PoS. 3. A downstream observer accesses the affected memory address after the early completion response is issued but before the actual memory write has completed. This allows the observer to read stale data that has not yet been updated at the PoS or downstream memory. The implementation of workaround put a second loop of CMOs at the same virtual address whose operation meet erratum conditions to wait until cache data be cleaned to PoC. This way of implementation mitigates performance penalty compared to purely duplicate original CMO.
