[PATCH 4.4 100/112] arm64: kernel: Init MDCR_EL2 even in the absence of a PMU

Show all headers | View raw

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com>

commit 850540351bb1a4fa5f192e5ce55b89928cc57f42 upstream.

Commit f436b2ac90a0 ("arm64: kernel: fix architected PMU registers
unconditional access") made sure we wouldn't access unimplemented
PMU registers, but also left MDCR_EL2 uninitialized in that case,
leading to trap bits being potentially left set.

Make sure we always write something in that register.
