Hi All

We are trying to implement errata which is applicable for below CPUs: <CPUs> : <Errata No.> Cortex-A53: 1530924 Cortex-A76: 1165522 Cortex-A72: 1319367 Cortex-A57: 1319537 Cortex-A55: 1530923

Errata Description: A speculative Address Translation (AT) instruction translates using registers that are associated with an out-of-context translation regime and caches the resulting translation in the TLB. A subsequent translation request that is generated when the out-of-context translation regime is current uses the previous cached TLB entry producing an incorrect virtual to physical mapping.

Probable solution is to implement below fix in context.S file: During ELx (1 or 2) context save: · Operate TCR_ELx(1/2) to disable page table walk by operating EPD bits o This will avoid any page table walk for S-EL1 or S-EL2. This will help in avoiding caching of translations in TLB for S-EL1/S-EL2 in EL3. · Save all system registers (which is already available) except TCR · Clear EPD bits of TCR and then save. (Just to enable PTW during restore context).

During ELx (1 or 2) context restore:

* Operate TCR_ELx(1/2) to disable page table walk by operating EPD bits * Restore all system registers (which are saved during context save) except TCR register. * Restore TCR_ELx(1/2) register (which enable back PTW). With above we ensured that there will be no page table walk for S-EL1 and S-EL2 in EL3. is this proper other way to fix this problem? Need some suggestion/use cases where and all we need this workaround in TF-A code.
