The workaround for r1p0 disables the CPU performance -feature of bypassing of stores by younger loads. This can significantly -affect performance. The Erratum is classified "Cat A (Rare)" and requires -a specific sequence of events to occur. - -Disabling this CPU performance feature is also the mitigation for Spectre -Variant 4 (CVE-2018-3639). On CPUs that provide the PSTATE.SBSS feature, -the OS selectively applies the mitigation only to programs that require it, -leaving the performance of other programs unaffected. However, N1 r1p0 -does not have the PSTATE.SBSS feature (which is introduced in N1 r3p1), and -Arm-TF does not provide the interface to to dynamically disable the CPU -performance feature. Therefore, applying the workaround penalizes ALL -software running on N1 SDP, including those that do not require mitigation. - -This patch is meant for performance evaluation purposes ONLY and should not -be used for software that requires a seccomp computing environment. - -Upstream-Status: Inappropriate -Signed-off-by: James Yang ---- - plat/arm/board/n1sdp/platform.mk | 2 ++ - 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) - -diff --git a/plat/arm/board/n1sdp/platform.mk b/plat/arm/board/n1sdp/platform.mk -index 986bd70a..7e30c857 100644 ---- a/plat/arm/board/n1sdp/platform.mk -+++ b/plat/arm/board/n1sdp/platform.mk -@@ -66,3 +66,5 @@ include plat/arm/common/arm_common.mk - include plat/arm/css/common/css_common.mk - include plat/arm/board/common/board_common.mk - -+# N1SDP: disable workaround for Errata 1315703 and global Spectre v4 mitigation -+override ERRATA_N1_1315703 := 0 --- -2.17.1 - diff --git a/meta-arm-bsp/recipes-bsp/trusted-firmware-a/trusted-firmware-a-n1sdp.inc b/meta-arm-bsp/recipes-bsp/trusted-firmware-a/trusted-firmware-a-n1sdp.inc index fbc43586..9a49c005 100644 --- a/meta-arm-bsp/recipes-bsp/trusted-firmware-a/trusted-firmware-a-n1sdp.inc +++ b/meta-arm-bsp/recipes-bsp/trusted-firmware-a/trusted-firmware-a-n1sdp.inc @@ -8,6 +8,5 @@ TFA_DEBUG = "1" TFA_MBEDTLS = "0" TFA_UBOOT = "0" -SRC_URI_append = " \ - file://0001-n1sdp-arm-tf-disable-workaround-for-N1-Erratum-13157.patch \ - " +SRCREV_tfa = "332649da478147b3d03132deb3783dd62fd475d7" +PV = "2.4+git${SRCPV}"
