ARM: 9210/1: Mark the FDT_FIXED sections as shareable
commit 7a1be318f579 ("ARM: 9012/1: move device tree mapping out of linear region") use FDT_FIXED_BASE to map the whole FDT_FIXED_SIZE memory area which contains fdt. But it only reserves the exact physical memory that fdt occupied. Unfortunately, this mapping is non-shareable. An illegal or speculative read access can bring the RAM content from non-fdt zone into cache, PIPT makes it to be hit by subsequently read access through shareable mapping(such as linear mapping), and the cache consistency between cores is lost due to non-shareable property. |<---------FDT_FIXED_SIZE------>| | | ------------------------------- | <non-fdt> | <fdt> | <non-fdt> | ------------------------------- 1. CoreA read <non-fdt> through MT_ROM mapping, the old data is loaded into the cache. 2. CoreB write <non-fdt> to update data through linear mapping. CoreA received the notification to invalid the corresponding cachelines, but the property non-shareable makes it to be ignored. 3. CoreA read <non-fdt> through linear mapping, cache hit, the old data is read. To eliminate this risk, add a new memory type MT_MEMORY_RO. Compared to MT_ROM, it is shareable and non-executable. Here's an example: list_del corruption. prev->next should be c0ecbf74, but was c08410dc kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:53! ... ...

The dumped stack shows that 'prev' = c0ecbf74, but its value before lib/list_debug.c:53 is c08410dc. A large amount of printing results in swapping out the cacheline containing the old data(MT_ROM mapping is read only, so the cacheline cannot be dirty), and the subsequent dump operation obtains new data from the DDR.
