The CPU cores in Tegra contain some errata. Workarounds must be applied for these every time a CPU boots. Implement those workarounds directly in the Tegra-specific CPU reset vector. Many of these workarounds duplicate code in the core ARM kernel. However, the core ARM kernel cannot enable those workarounds when building a multi-platform kernel, since they require writing to secure- only registers, and a multi-platform kernel often does not run in secure mode, and also cannot generically/architecturally detect whether it is running in secure mode, and hence cannot either unconditionally or conditionally apply these workarounds. Instead, the workarounds must be applied in architecture-specific reset code, which is able to have more direct knowledge of the secure/normal state. On Tegra, we will be able to detect this using a non-architected register in the future, although we currently assume the kernel runs only in secure mode. Other SoCs may never run the kernel in secure mode, and hence always rely on a secure monitor to enable the workarounds, and hence never implement them in the kernel.
