CTR_EL0.IDC reports the data cache clean requirements for instruction
to data coherence. However, if the field is 0, we need to check the
CLIDR_EL1 fields to detect the status of the feature. Currently we
don't do this and generate a warning with tainting the kernel, when
there is a mismatch in the field among the CPUs. Also the userspace
doesn't have a reliable way to check the CLIDR_EL1 register to check
the status.
This patch fixes the problem by checking the CLIDR_EL1 fields, when
(CTR_EL0.IDC == 0) and updates the kernel's copy of the CTR_EL0 for
the CPU with the actual status of the feature. This would allow the
sanity check infrastructure to do the proper checking of the fields
and also allow the CTR_EL0 emulation code to supply the real status
of the feature.
Now, if a CPU has raw CTR_EL0.IDC == 0 and effective IDC == 1 (with
overall system wide IDC == 1), we need to expose the real value to
the user. So, we trap CTR_EL0 access on the CPU which reports incorrect
CTR_EL0.IDC.
Fixes: commit 6ae4b6e057 ("arm64: Add support for new control bits CTR_EL0.DIC and CTR_EL0.IDC")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
