X-Git-Tag: v2.6.36-rc8~7^2~8 X-Git-Url: https://bbs.cooldavid.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=475d92fc6e72cd123dc5dbb9e70cdb80b0cfdf2d;p=net-next-2.6.git ARM: 6416/1: errata: faulty hazard checking in the Store Buffer may lead to data corruption On the r2p0, r2p1 and r2p2 versions of the Cortex-A9, data corruption can occur under very rare conditions due to a store buffer optimisation. This workaround sets a bit in the diagnostic register of the Cortex-A9, disabling the optimisation and preventing the problem from occurring.
