This patch contains 2 workaround for the System MMU v3.x. System MMU v3.2 and v3.3 has FLPD cache that caches first level page table entries to reduce page table walking latency. However, the FLPD cache is filled with a first level page table entry even though it is not accessed by a master H/W because System MMU v3.3 speculatively prefetches page table entries that may be accessed in the near future by the master H/W. The prefetched FLPD cache entries are not invalidated by iommu_unmap() because iommu_unmap() only unmaps and invalidates the page table entries that is mapped. Because exynos-iommu driver discards a second level page table when it needs to be replaced with another second level page table or a first level page table entry with 1MB mapping, It is required to invalidate FLPD cache that may contain the first level page table entry that points to the second level page table. Another workaround of System MMU v3.3 is initializing the first level page table entries with the second level page table which is filled with all zeros. This prevents System MMU prefetches 'fault' first level page table entry which may lead page fault on access to 16MiB wide. System MMU 3.x fetches consecutive page table entries by a page table walking to maximize bus utilization and to minimize TLB miss panelty. Unfortunately, functional problem is raised with the fetching behavior because it fetches 'fault' page table entries that specifies no translation information and that a valid translation information will be written to in the near future. The logic in the System MMU generates page fault with the cached fault entries that is no longer coherent with the page table which is updated. There is another workaround that must be implemented by I/O virtual memory manager: any two consecutive I/O virtual memory area must have a hole between the two that is larger than or equal to 128KiB. Also, next I/O virtual memory area must be started from the next 128KiB boundary. 0 128K 256K 384K 512K |-------------|---------------|-----------------|----------------| |area1---------------->|.........hole...........|<--- area2 ----- The constraint is depicted above. The size is selected by the calculation followed: - System MMU can fetch consecutive 64 page table entries at once 64 * 4KiB = 256KiB. This is the size between 128K ~ 384K of the above picture. This style of fetching is 'block fetch'. It fetches the page table entries predefined consecutive page table entries including the entry that is the reason of the page table walking. - System MMU can prefetch upto consecutive 32 page table entries. This is the size between 256K ~ 384K. Signed-off-by:
