The ARM errata 819472, 827319 and 824069 define the same workaround for these hardware issues in certain Cortex-A53 parts.
The cache instructions "dc cvac" and "dc cvau" need to be upgraded to "dc civac". Use the alternative framework to replace those instructions only on affected cores. Whilst the errata affect cache instructions issued at any exception level, it is not necessary to trap EL1/EL0 data cache instructions access in order to upgrade them. Indeed the data cache corruption would always be at the address used by the data cache instructions. Note that this address could point to a shared memory between guests and the hypervisors, however all the information present in it are be validated before any use. Therefore a malicious guest could only hurt itself. Note that all the guests should implement/enable the workaround for the affected cores.
