However, I have a question. We are relying on context switch to set sctlr_el1_tfc0 right ? If that's the case, till the thread resuming from low power switches context we are running with SCTLR_EL1_TCF0 not reflecting the actual value.
I think you have a point here, though not for SCTLR_EL1 as it is already restored. GCR_EL1 is only updated after some C code has run and may mess up stack tagging when/if we ever support it. Anyway, something to worry about later, I think even the boot path gets this wrong. -- Catalin _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
