My immediate thought was that we'd not care about the ISB here since we'll have an ERET before getting to EL0. However, we may have some LDTR/STTR populating the new process args page on exec which may, in theory, pick up a stale POR_EL0. -- Catalin _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
