4.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Will Deacon <will.dea...@arm.com>
commit 905e8c5dcaa147163672b06fe9dcb5abaacbc711 upstream.
When running a compat (AArch32) userspace on Cortex-A53, a load at EL0
from a virtual address that matches the bottom 32 bits of the virtual
address used by a recent load at (AArch64) EL1 might return incorrect
data.
This patch works around the issue by writing to the contextidr_el1
register on the exception return path when returning to a 32-bit task.
This workaround is patched in at runtime based on the MIDR value of the
processor.

+ This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
+ erratum 845719 on Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p4.

+ When running a compat (AArch32) userspace on an affected Cortex-A53
+ part, a load at EL0 from a virtual address that matches the bottom 32
+ bits of the virtual address used by a recent load at (AArch64) EL1
+ might return incorrect data.
+
+ The workaround is to write the contextidr_el1 register on exception
+ return to a 32-bit task.
+ Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround,
+ as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch
+ the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.
+
+ If unsure, say Y.
