Subject: arm64 qemu tests failing in linux-next since 'arm64: kernel: enforce
 pmuserenr_el0 initialization and restore'

Hi all,

since commit 60792ad349f3 ("arm64: kernel: enforce pmuserenr_el0 initialization
and restore"), my arm64 qemu tests of linux-next are failing. After this commit,
qemu does not display any output.

Qemu version is 2.5.0. Linux kernel configuration is arm64:defconfig.

qemu command line is as follows:

	qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt -cpu cortex-a57 -machine type=virt -nographic -smp 1 \
		-m 512 -kernel arch/arm64/boot/Image -initrd rootfs.arm64.cpio -no-reboot \
		-append "console=ttyAMA0"

Any idea what might cause this problem and how to fix it (presumably in qemu) ?

Bisect log is attached below. Reverting commit 60792ad349f3 on top of linux-next
fixes the problem.

Thanks,
Guenter
