Linux kernel source tree
2acb909750
It was observed that decompressor running on hardware implementing ARM v8.2
Load/Store Multiple Atomicity and Ordering Control (LSMAOC), say, as guest,
would stuck just after:
Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.
The reason is that it clears nTLSMD bit when disabling caches:
nTLSMD, bit [3]
When ARMv8.2-LSMAOC is implemented:
No Trap Load Multiple and Store Multiple to
Device-nGRE/Device-nGnRE/Device-nGnRnE memory.
0b0 All memory accesses by A32 and T32 Load Multiple and Store
Multiple at EL1 or EL0 that are marked at stage 1 as
Device-nGRE/Device-nGnRE/Device-nGnRnE memory are trapped and
generate a stage 1 Alignment fault.
0b1 All memory accesses by A32 and T32 Load Multiple and Store
Multiple at EL1 or EL0 that are marked at stage 1 as
Device-nGRE/Device-nGnRE/Device-nGnRnE memory are not trapped.
This bit is permitted to be cached in a TLB.
This field resets to 1.
Otherwise:
Reserved, RES1
So as effect we start getting traps we are not quite ready for.
Looking into history it seems that mask used for SCTLR clear came from
the similar code for ARMv4, where bit[3] is the enable/disable bit for
the write buffer. That not applicable to ARMv7 and onwards, so retire
that bit from the masks.

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.
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.
