Subject: [PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 029/210] arm64: mdscr_el1: avoid exposing DCC to userspace
3.19.8-ckt14 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------
From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@....com>
commit d8d23fa0f27f3b2942a7bbc7378c7735324ed519 upstream.
We don't want to expose the DCC to userspace, particularly as there is
a kernel console driver for it.
This patch resets mdscr_el1 to disable userspace access to the DCC
registers on the cold boot path.
