Revision 995ab5189d1d7264e79e665dfa032a19b3ac646e authored by Thomas Petazzoni on 25 November 2014, 17:43:15 UTC, committed by Russell King on 27 November 2014, 15:55:04 UTC
Under extremely rare conditions, in an MPCore node consisting of at
least 3 CPUs, two CPUs trying to perform a STREX to data on the same
shared cache line can enter a livelock situation.
This patch enables the HW mechanism that overcomes the bug. This fixes
the incorrect setup of the STREX backoff delay bit due to a wrong
description in the specification.
Note that enabling the STREX backoff delay mechanism is done by
leaving the bit *cleared*, while the bit was currently being set by
the proc-v7.S code.
[Thomas: adapt to latest mainline, slightly reword the commit log, add
stable markers.]
