-ARM CPU Errata Workarounds
-==========================
-
-ARM Trusted Firmware exports a series of build flags which control the
-errata workarounds that are applied to each CPU by the reset handler. The
-errata details can be found in the CPU specifc errata documents published
-by ARM. The errata workarounds are implemented for a particular revision
-or a set of processor revisions. This check is done in the debug build.
-Each errata workaround is identified by its `ID` as specified in the processor's
-errata notice document. The format of the define used to enable/disable the
-errata is `ERRATA_<Processor name>_<ID>` where the `Processor name`
-is either `A57` for the `Cortex_A57` CPU or `A53` for `Cortex_A53` CPU.
-
-All workarounds are disabled by default. The platform is reponsible for
-enabling these workarounds according to its requirement by defining the
-errata workaround build flags in the platform specific makefile.
-
-In the current implementation, a platform which has more than 1 variant
-with different revisions of a processor has no runtime mechanism available
-for it to specify which errata workarounds should be enabled or not.
-
-The value of the build flags are 0 by default, that is, disabled. Any other
-value will enable it.
-
-For Cortex A57, following errata build flags are defined :
-
-*   `ERRATA_A57_806969`: This applies errata 806969 workaround to cortex a57
-     CPU. This needs to be enabled only for revision r0p0 of the CPU.
-
-*   `ERRATA_A57_813420`: This applies errata 813420 workaround to cortex a57
-     CPU. This needs to be enabled only for revision r0p0 of the CPU.

+ARM CPU Specific Build Macros
+=============================

+2.  CPU Errata Workarounds
+3.  CPU Specific optimizations
+
+1.  Introduction
+----------------
+
+This document describes the various build options present in the CPU specific
+operations framework to enable errata workarounds and to enable optimizations
+for a specific CPU on a platform.
+
+2.  CPU Errata Workarounds
+--------------------------
+
+ARM Trusted Firmware exports a series of build flags which control the
+errata workarounds that are applied to each CPU by the reset handler. The
+errata details can be found in the CPU specifc errata documents published
+by ARM. The errata workarounds are implemented for a particular revision
+or a set of processor revisions. This is checked by reset handler at runtime.
+Each errata workaround is identified by its `ID` as specified in the processor's
+errata notice document. The format of the define used to enable/disable the
+errata is `ERRATA_<Processor name>_<ID>` where the `Processor name`
+is either `A57` for the `Cortex_A57` CPU or `A53` for `Cortex_A53` CPU.
+
+All workarounds are disabled by default. The platform is reponsible for
+enabling these workarounds according to its requirement by defining the
+errata workaround build flags in the platform specific makefile. In case
+these workarounds are enabled for the wrong CPU revision then the errata
+workaround is not applied. In the DEBUG build, this is indicated by
+printing a warning to the crash console.
+
+In the current implementation, a platform which has more than 1 variant
+with different revisions of a processor has no runtime mechanism available
+for it to specify which errata workarounds should be enabled or not.
+
+The value of the build flags are 0 by default, that is, disabled. Any other
+value will enable it.
+
+For Cortex-A57, following errata build flags are defined :
+
+*   `ERRATA_A57_806969`: This applies errata 806969 workaround to Cortex-A57
+     CPU. This needs to be enabled only for revision r0p0 of the CPU.
+
+*   `ERRATA_A57_813420`: This applies errata 813420 workaround to Cortex-A57
+     CPU. This needs to be enabled only for revision r0p0 of the CPU.
+
+3.  CPU Specific optimizations
+------------------------------
+
+This section describes some of the optimizations allowed by the CPU micro
+architecture that can be enabled by the platform as desired.
+
+*    `SKIP_A57_L1_FLUSH_PWR_DWN`: This flag enables an optimization in the
+     Cortex-A57 cluster power down sequence by not flushing the Level 1 data
+     cache. The L1 data cache and the L2 unified cache are inclusive. A flush
+     of the L2 by set/way flushes any dirty lines from the L1 as well. This
+     is a known safe deviation from the Cortex-A57 TRM defined power down
+     sequence. Each Cortex-A57 based platform must make its own decision on
+     whether to use the optimization.

 The CPU specific operations framework scales to accommodate a large number of
 different CPUs during power down and reset handling. The platform can specify
+any CPU optimization it wants to enable for each CPU. It can also specify
 the CPU errata workarounds to be applied for each CPU type during reset
 handling by defining CPU errata compile time macros. Details on these macros
-can be found in the [cpu-errata-workarounds.md][ERRW] file.
