I think it's because of those undefined instructions you're hitting
with the hw-breakpoint code... can you try the patch below please?

Yes, that fixes the problem.

Assuming you'll create a patch:

Tested-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>

Does that need to be addressed in qemu, or is it a Linux bug ?

Thanks,

It's a Linux bug provoked by qemu not implementing the hardware
breakpoints.  Well worth fixing in Linux.

The Armada XP base platform were hit by the same bug as we can see on
kernlci:
https://storage.kernelci.org/mainline/v4.8-rc1/arm-mvebu_v7_defconfig/lab-baylibre-seattle/boot-armada-xp-openblocks-ax3-4.html

Your patch solves the issue too.

Will you push this patch for v4.8-rc2 ?

Also I wonder if it is something expected to have this issue on a "real"
hardware.

You can also add my:

It would be expected if hardware breakpoint implementation is optional
and not all real CPUs implement it.

I also tested this fixes the boot issue on Armada XP.

It should be in the current linux-next.  I'll send them on in the
usual way over the weekend for -rc2, with your ack for this one.

Thanks.

Also, I noticed your for-next branch is going through boot testing
right now in my kernelci lab, and I see it passed on the Armada XP, so
that's more evidence for the fix.

Thanks,
