Currently, clear_page() uses DC ZVA instruction unconditionally. But it should make sure that DCZID_EL0.DZP, which indicates whether or not use of DC ZVA instruction is prohibited, is zero when using the instruction. Use stp as memset does instead when DCZID_EL0.DZP == 1.
For correctness, this is fine, but have you come across a system that has DZP == 1 (or hypervisor setting HCR_EL2.TDZ)? -- Catalin _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
