I am running 4.13.3 on rockchip 3328 platform(aarch64) with glibc 2.26
and see the following at booting:

As far as I understand d5380001 should be emulated in cpufeature.c but
it is not. What could be wrong here?

The whole sequence is

   0:   d503201f        nop
   4:   8a180320        and     x0, x25, x24
   8:   92750001        and     x1, x0, #0x800
   c:   365ffc20        tbz     w0, #11, 0xffffffffffffff90
  10:*  d5380001        mrs     x1, midr_el1            <-- trapping instruction

This looks the same as:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1496209

[...]

What should happen here is that the do_undefinstr() in
arch/arm64/kernel/traps.c should call registered undef hooks until it
finds one that accepts the faulting instruction.

So, either the cpufeatures undef hook is not getting called, or it is
failing the instruction somewhere, possibly in
cpufeatures.c:emulate_id_reg() or emulate_sys_reg().


Can you add some trace to those functions to see what's happening?

I couldn't reproduce this with linux-stable's v4.13.3 defconfig on Seattle or Juno.

What distribution are you running? Could you also try [0] to see if this is
something specific to your version of modprobe?


Thanks,

James

[0] works for me:

int main(int argc, char **argv)

        unsigned long hwcaps = getauxval(AT_HWCAP);

        if (!(hwcaps & HWCAP_CPUID)) {
                fprintf(stderr, "mrs emulation not supported\n");
                return 1;
        }

        asm("mrs %0, midr_el1" : "=r"(midr));

        fprintf(stderr, "mrs x1, midr_el1; x1=0x%x\n", midr);

        return 0;
