ARM: 7396/1: errata: only handle ARM erratum #326103 on affected cores
Erratum #326103 ("FSR write bit incorrect on a SWP to read-only memory") only affects the ARM 1136 core prior to r1p0. The workaround disassembles the faulting instruction to determine whether it was a read or write access on all v6 cores. An issue has been reported on the ARM 11MPCore whereby loading the faulting instruction may happen in parallel with that page being unmapped, resulting in a deadlock due to the lack of TLB broadcasting in hardware: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2012-March/091561.html This patch limits the workaround so that it is only used on affected cores, which are known to be UP only. Other v6 cores can rely on the FSR to indicate the access type correctly.

1192 help
1193 Executing a SWP instruction to read-only memory does not set bit 11
1194 of the FSR on the ARM 1136 prior to r1p0. This causes the kernel to
1195 treat the access as a read, preventing a COW from occurring and
1196 causing the faulting task to livelock.
