I think this is unrelated to OP-TEE and more to do with ongoing DMA
activity when the kernel has crashed and we've done an emergency kexec
into the kdump kernel which didn't shutdown the SMMU. The SoC I'm using
has a v2 SMMU and I think something similar to commit 3f54c447df34
("iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Don't disable SMMU in kdump kernel") is needed for
the v1/v2 SMMU driver. I've prototyped a patch that disables the SMMU
interrupts (GFIE and GCFGFIE) in the kdump kernel and testing has looked
good so far. I'll send that out as a separate patch after a little more
testing.

However, with that change and my earlier change to disable the shm cache
during boot, I'm periodically seeing a different issue while the kdump
kernel is coming up. I'm pretty certain it was already there before but
I wasn't seeing it as often since the SMMU warnings were so "loud".

The kernel waits indefinitely for a secure world thread and boot hangs
completely:

I'm unable to trigger a sysrq over the serial console of this remote
machine so I don't yet know what the other threads on the system are
doing during this time. I'll hack something together tomorrow to get a
better idea.

The blocked task warning reminded me of when you said this earlier:

I suspect that it is related to what I'm seeing with this blocked task. Can you
expand on why we can't recover from a kernel crash if a thread is
executing in the secure world?

I appreciate your help!
