If the bootloader clock enable all hack still exists, may be you can try that out. Another way to debug this is to start disabling peripheral drivers from the kernel 1 by 1 and see if the issue goes away. Regards, Santosh

Highly unlikely to make any difference. As the failure happens soo early with the patch applied, the kernel hasn't had much of a chance to touch the hardware - about the only things are the decompressor and the kernel touching the early console. As they seem to be working, it suggests that's not the cause. It seems to be pointing towards something in the boot loader... Normally, uboot will hook itself into the vectors to report errors, but I wonder whether uboot enables asynchronous aborts while it's running. Don't forget to make sure that the aborts are disabled again prior to calling the kernel.

If it turns out to be the same issue the only kernel level workaround would be to ignore exactly 1 abort after bootup. Then we still need a solution for the platform and the PCIe driver abort handler both hooking into the same abort vector, which won't work currently. Regards, Lucas

If you have a JTAG, maybe you can manually set CPSR.A bit (equivalent of Lucas's patch) at bootloader/kernel entry and conclude who is the culprit or maybe even localize it better. This method did help in rootcausing issue in one of the SoC that showed the same behaviour. Regards Afzal

The patch works now once I move the local_abort_enable() to later just before calling reserve_crashkernel() in setup_arch(). The abort handler gets called right after enabling it which means it has happened even before reaching here. I have added the abort handler to u-boot code and I get the same abort which means the root cause is u-boot or ROM boot loader. I would try to debug if root cause is u-boot. If it is ROM boot loader, I will have to add a work around in u-boot or Linux. Is there a preference of one over the other? The exception handling in u-boot is premature and will require more work to add a work around. Is there still a possibility of adding the work around in Linux?
