Description: Cortex-A77: 1508412: workaround deadlock on sequence of NC/Device load and store exclusive or PAR read

More info: This option adds a workaround for Arm Cortex-A77 erratum 1508412. Affected Cortex-A77 cores (r0p0, r1p0) could deadlock on a sequence of a store-exclusive or read of PAR_EL1 and a load with device or non-cacheable memory attributes. The workaround depends on a firmware counterpart. KVM guests must also have the workaround implemented or they can deadlock the system. Work around the issue by inserting DMB SY barriers around PAR_EL1 register reads and warning KVM users. The DMB barrier is sufficient to prevent a speculative PAR_EL1 read. If unsure, say Y.
