700 In some older versions of glibc [<=2.8] SWP is used during futex
701 trylock() operations with the assumption that the code will not

703 with SWP emulation enabled, leading to deadlock of the user
706 NOTE: when accessing uncached shared regions, LDREX/STREX rely
707 on an external transaction monitoring block called a global

812 Warning: disabling this option may break user programs.
814 Provide kuser helpers in the vector page. The kernel provides
815 helper code to userspace in read only form at a fixed location
816 in the high vector page to allow userspace to be independent of
817 the CPU type fitted to the system. This permits binaries to be
818 run on ARMv4 through to ARMv7 without modification.
820 See Documentation/arm/kernel_user_helpers.txt for details.
822 However, the fixed address nature of these helpers can be used
823 by ROP (return orientated programming) authors when creating
826 If all of the binaries and libraries which run on your platform
827 are built specifically for your platform, and make no use of
828 these helpers, then you can turn this option off to hinder
829 such exploits. However, in that case, if a binary or library

857 functions may leave stale cache entries on other CPUs. By
858 enabling this option, Read or Write For Ownership in the ARMv6
859 DMA cache maintenance functions is performed. These LDR/STR

863 Note that the workaround is only valid on processors that do
864 not perform speculative loads into the D-cache. For such

923 (offset 0x7F0), by Index/Way (0x7F8) and by Way (0x7FC).
924 They are architecturally defined to behave as the execution of a

934 operation (offset 0x7FC). This operation runs in background so that
935 PL310 can handle normal accesses while it is in progress. Under very
936 rare circumstances, due to this erratum, write data can be lost when

941 config PL310_ERRATA_753970
942 bool "PL310 errata: cache sync operation may be faulty"
944 This option enables the workaround for the 753970 PL310 (r3p0) erratum.
946 Under some condition the effect of cache sync operation on
947 the store buffer still remains when the operation completes.
948 This means that the store buffer is always asked to drain and
949 this prevents it from merging any further writes. The workaround
950 is to replace the normal offset of cache sync operation (0x730)
951 by another offset targeting an unmapped PL310 register 0x740.
952 This has the same effect as the cache sync operation: store buffer
953 drain and waiting for all buffers empty.
955 config PL310_ERRATA_769419
956 bool "PL310 errata: no automatic Store Buffer drain"
958 On revisions of the PL310 prior to r3p2, the Store Buffer does
959 not automatically drain. This can cause normal, non-cacheable
960 writes to be retained when the memory system is idle, leading
961 to suboptimal I/O performance for drivers using coherent DMA.
962 This option adds a write barrier to the cpu_idle loop so that,
963 on systems with an outer cache, the store buffer is drained
969 bool "Enable the Tauros2 L2 cache controller"
970 depends on (ARCH_DOVE || ARCH_MMP || CPU_PJ4)
974 This option enables the Tauros2 L2 cache controller (as

982 select OUTER_CACHE_SYNC
984 This option enables the UniPhier outer cache (system cache)
988 bool "Enable the L2 cache on XScale3"
993 This option enables the L2 cache on XScale3.
995 config ARM_L1_CACHE_SHIFT_6
999 Setting ARM L1 cache line size to 64 Bytes.
1001 config ARM_L1_CACHE_SHIFT
1003 default 6 if ARM_L1_CACHE_SHIFT_6
1006 config ARM_DMA_MEM_BUFFERABLE
1007 bool "Use non-cacheable memory for DMA" if (CPU_V6 || CPU_V6K) && !CPU_V7
1008 depends on !(MACH_REALVIEW_PB1176 || REALVIEW_EB_ARM11MP || \
1009 MACH_REALVIEW_PB11MP)
1010 default y if CPU_V6 || CPU_V6K || CPU_V7
1012 Historically, the kernel has used strongly ordered mappings to
1013 provide DMA coherent memory. With the advent of ARMv7, mapping
1014 memory with differing types results in unpredictable behaviour,
1015 so on these CPUs, this option is forced on.
1017 Multiple mappings with differing attributes is also unpredictable
1018 on ARMv6 CPUs, but since they do not have aggressive speculative
1019 prefetch, no harm appears to occur.
1021 However, drivers may be missing the necessary barriers for ARMv6,
1022 and therefore turning this on may result in unpredictable driver
1023 behaviour. Therefore, we offer this as an option.
1025 You are recommended say 'Y' here and debug any affected drivers.
1027 config ARCH_HAS_BARRIERS
1030 This option allows the use of custom mandatory barriers
1031 included via the mach/barriers.h file.
1036 config ARCH_SUPPORTS_BIG_ENDIAN
1039 This option specifies the architecture can support big endian
1042 config ARM_KERNMEM_PERMS
1043 bool "Restrict kernel memory permissions"
1046 If this is set, kernel memory other than kernel text (and rodata)
1047 will be made non-executable. The tradeoff is that each region is
1048 padded to section-size (1MiB) boundaries (because their permissions
1049 are different and splitting the 1M pages into 4K ones causes TLB
1050 performance problems), wasting memory.
1053 bool "Make kernel text and rodata read-only"
1054 depends on ARM_KERNMEM_PERMS
1057 If this is set, kernel text and rodata will be made read-only. This
1058 is to help catch accidental or malicious attempts to change the
1059 kernel's executable code. Additionally splits rodata from kernel
1060 text so it can be made explicitly non-executable. This creates
1061 another section-size padded region, so it can waste more memory
1062 space while gaining the read-only protections.
