This change ensures that the FPU can be accessed in Non-Secure mode
when the CPU core is reset using the arm_set_cpu_on() function call.
The NSACR.{CP11,CP10} bits define the exception level required to
access the FPU in Non-Secure mode. Without these bits set, the CPU
will give an undefined exception trap on the first FPU access for the
secondary cores under Linux.

Oops, another place where we failed to realise the ramifications
of making NSACR actually do something.

Since this is a bugfix I'm going to fish it out of this patchset
and apply it to target-arm.next with a cc: stable.

Thanks for the catch!

Sure, I'm happy to help. Note that I only tested this fix with
the Allwinner H3 SoC patches that I'm working on.

OK, I'll keep an eye out for it. Once it is solved in master, I'll remove
this patch from the patch series.

Regards,
Niek

Hi Peter,

Philippe discovered that this patch triggers an hflags assertion error when
building QEMU
with debugging enabled (--enable-debug and --extra-cflags=-ggdb).

See this thread for details:
https://www.mail-archive.com/qemu-devel@nongnu.org/msg665049.html

What I added to resolve that is to call arm_rebuild_hflags() after setting
CP10,CP11.
However I'm not sure of any other side effects because I just don't know
this area of the code very well.

Regards,
Niek
