In some older versions of glibc [<=2.8] SWP is used during futex
trylock() operations with the assumption that the code will not
be preempted. This invalid assumption may be more likely to fail
with SWP emulation enabled, leading to deadlock of the user
application.
NOTE: when accessing uncached shared regions, LDREX/STREX rely
on an external transaction monitoring block called a global
monitor to maintain update atomicity. If your system does not

Under some condition the effect of cache sync operation on
the store buffer still remains when the operation completes.
This means that the store buffer is always asked to drain and
this prevents it from merging any further writes. The workaround
is to replace the normal offset of cache sync operation (0x730)
by another offset targeting an unmapped PL310 register 0x740.
This has the same effect as the cache sync operation: store buffer
drain and waiting for all buffers empty.

On revisions of the PL310 prior to r3p2, the Store Buffer does

writes to be retained when the memory system is idle, leading
to suboptimal I/O performance for drivers using coherent DMA.
This option adds a write barrier to the cpu_idle loop so that,
on systems with an outer cache, the store buffer is drained
explicitly.

Historically, the kernel has used strongly ordered mappings to
provide DMA coherent memory. With the advent of ARMv7, mapping
memory with differing types results in unpredictable behaviour,
so on these CPUs, this option is forced on.
Multiple mappings with differing attributes is also unpredictable
on ARMv6 CPUs, but since they do not have aggressive speculative
prefetch, no harm appears to occur.
However, drivers may be missing the necessary barriers for ARMv6,
and therefore turning this on may result in unpredictable driver
behaviour. Therefore, we offer this as an option.
On some of the beefier ARMv7-M machines (with DMA and write
buffers) you likely want this enabled, while those that
didn't need it until now also won't need it in the future.
You are recommended say 'Y' here and debug any affected drivers.

If this is set, rodata will be made explicitly non-executable. This
provides protection on the rare chance that attackers might find and
use ROP gadgets that exist in the rodata section. This adds an
additional section-aligned split of rodata from kernel text so it
can be made explicitly non-executable. This padding may waste memory
space to gain the additional protection.
