From 563cada03db9cb5df19b20290b65c4e5e1d21358 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vladimir Murzin Date: Thu, 1 Sep 2016 14:35:59 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: kernel: do not need to reset UAO on exception entry Commit e19a6ee2460b ("arm64: kernel: Save and restore UAO and addr_limit on exception entry") states that exception handler inherits the original PSTATE.UAO value, so UAO needes to be reset explicitly. However, ARM 8.2 Extension documentation says: PSTATE.UAO is copied to SPSR_ELx.UAO and is then set to 0 on an exception taken from AArch64 to AArch64 so hardware already does the right thing.
