Some early revisions of the Cortex-A53 have an erratum (843419). The
details of the erratum are quite complex and involve dynamic
conditions. For the purposes of the workaround we have simplified the
static conditions to an ADRP in the last two instructions of a 4KByte
page, followed within four instructions by a load/store dependent on
the ADRP.
This patch adds support to conservatively scan for and workaround
Cortex A53 erratum 843419. There are two different workaround
strategies used. The first is to rewrite ADRP instructions which form
part of an erratum sequence with an ADR instruction. In situations
where the ADR provides insufficient offset the dependent load or store
instruction from the sequence is moved to a stub section and branches
are inserted from the original sequence to the relocated instruction
and back again.
Stub section sizes are rounded up to a multiple of 4096 in order to
ensure that the act of inserting work around stubs does not create
more errata sequences.
Workaround stubs are always inserted into the stub section associated
with the input section containing the erratum sequence. This ensures
that the fully relocated form of the veneered load store instruction
is available at the point in time when the stub section is written.
Ensure that injection of a stub section does not break a link where
there is an xpectation that flow of control can pass from one input
section to another simply by linking the input sections in series.
The solution here is to allow stub sections to be inserted after any
input section (existing behaviour), but inject an additional branch at
the start of each stub section such that control flow falling into the
stub section will branch over the stub section.
Change the behaviour of section_group[] such that .stub_sec points to
the stub section attached to the indexed section rather than the stub
section attached to the link_section pointed to be the index section.
This provides a mechanism to get to the stub section following any
input section. While still allowing the section grouping mechanism to
find the section group stub section associated with an input section
by first following the link_sec pointer.
This patch recognizes that we only need to perform one scan for the
835769 errata and that this scan can take place before we insert
branch stubs. The erratum scan code is relocated and adjusted to
create stub entries directly rather than populating an intermediate
representation. Since stub entries are created immediately we can
drop the adhoc stub size adjustment code and allow the generic stub
sizing code to deal with 835769 stub entries.
This patch restructures the code but does not change the workaround
used to deal with erratum 83679, the exact placement of workaround
stubs in the final image may change slightly after this patch due to
stubs being created in a different order.
Ensure we hard stop via abort() for unhandled stub types rather than
continuing either silently (or noisly with a BFD_FAIL()).
Call abort() giving a hard stop rather than BFD_FAIL () for unhandled
stub types.
