-Subject: [PATCH 1/4] ARM: l2c: Add support for the "arm, shared-override"
- property
-
-"CoreLink Level 2 Cache Controller L2C-310", p. 2-15, section 2.3.2
-Shareable attribute" states:
-
-    "The default behavior of the cache controller with respect to the
-     shareable attribute is to transform Normal Memory Non-cacheable
-     transactions into:
-        - cacheable no allocate for reads
-        - write through no write allocate for writes."
-
-Depending on the system architecture, this may cause memory corruption
-in the presence of bus mastering devices (e.g. OHCI). To avoid such
-corruption, the default behavior can be disabled by setting the Shared
-Override bit in the Auxiliary Control register.
-
-Currently the Shared Override bit can be set only using C code:
-  - by calling l2x0_init() directly, which is deprecated,
-  - by setting/clearing the bit in the machine_desc.l2c_aux_val/mask
-    fields, but using values differing from 0/~0 is also deprecated.
-
-Hence add support for an "arm,shared-override" device tree property for
-the l2c device node. By specifying this property, affected systems can
-indicate that non-cacheable transactions must not be transformed.
-Then, it's up to the OS to decide. The current behavior is to set the
-"shared attribute override enable" bit, as there may exist kernel linear
-mappings and cacheable aliases for the DMA buffers, even if CMA is
-enabled.
-
-See also commit 1a8e41cd672f894b ("ARM: 6395/1: VExpress: Set bit 22 in
-the PL310 (cache controller) AuxCtlr register"):
-
-    "Clearing bit 22 in the PL310 Auxiliary Control register (shared
-     attribute override enable) has the side effect of transforming
-     Normal Shared Non-cacheable reads into Cacheable no-allocate reads.
-
-     Coherent DMA buffers in Linux always have a Cacheable alias via the
-     kernel linear mapping and the processor can speculatively load
-     cache lines into the PL310 controller. With bit 22 cleared,
-     Non-cacheable reads would unexpectedly hit such cache lines leading
-     to buffer corruption."
