From 8abce1e49c82599e6c8ced2d3276247b06148526 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marc Zyngier Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2017 19:08:34 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: KVM: Allow unaligned accesses at EL2 commit 78fd6dcf11468a5a131b8365580d0c613bcc02cb upstream. We currently have the SCTLR_EL2.A bit set, trapping unaligned accesses at EL2, but we're not really prepared to deal with it. So far, this has been unnoticed, until GCC 7 started emitting those (in particular 64bit writes on a 32bit boundary). Since the rest of the kernel is pretty happy about that, let's follow its example and set SCTLR_EL2.A to zero. Modern CPUs don't really care.
