Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: eliminate a potential memory corruption on Hi16xx soc
Date: Sat, 20 Oct 2018 15:36:54 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1540021014-8176-1-git-send-email-thunder.leizhen@huawei.com> (raw)
The standard GITS_TRANSLATER register in ITS is only 4 bytes, but
Hisilicon expands the next 4 bytes to carry some IMPDEF information. That
means, total 8 bytes data will be written to MSIAddress each time.
MSIAddr: |----4bytes----|----4bytes----|
| MSIData | IMPDEF |
There is no problem for ITS, because the next 4 bytes space is reserved
in ITS. But it will overwrite the 4 bytes memory following "sync_count".
It's very fortunately that the previous and the next neighbour of the
"sync_count" are both aligned by 8 bytes, so no problem is met now.
It's good to explicitly add a workaround:
1. Add gcc __attribute__((aligned(8))) to make sure that "sync_count" is
always aligned by 8 bytes.
2. Add a "int" struct member to make sure the 4 bytes padding is always
exist.
There is no functional change.
