Subject[BUG] arm64/m1: Accessing SYS_ID_AA64ISAR2_EL1 causes early boot failure on 5.15.28, 5.16.14, 5.17
Date
Hello,

I’ve been testing kernel updates for the Adélie Linux distribution’s ARM64 port using a Parallels VM on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020). When the kernel attempts to access SYS_ID_AA64ISAR2_EL1, it causes a fault as seen here booting 5.17.0-rc8:

Disabling the access of SYS_ID_AA64ISAR2_EL1 in __cpuinfo_store_cpu causes failure a bit later on; this trace is taken from a 5.15.28 tree:

This is because detection of the clearbhb instruction support requires accessing SYS_ID_AA64ISAR2_EL1. Commenting out the two uses of supports_clearbhb in the kernel now yields a successful boot.

Qemu developers seem to have found this issue as well[1] when trying to boot 5.17 using HVF, the Apple Hypervisor Framework. This seems to be some sort of platform quirk on M1, or at least in HVF on M1. I’m not sure what the best workaround would be for this. SYS_ID_AA64ISAR2_EL1 seems to be something added in ARMv8.7, so perhaps access to it could be gated on that.

Unfortunately, this code was just added to 5.15.28 and 5.16.14, so stable no longer boots on Parallels VM on M1. I am unsure if this affects physical boot on Apple M1 or not.

I am willing to test any patches or workarounds. Please CC me on replies as I am not subscribed to the list(s).

Best,
-A.
