Can you give me more details on the qemu configuration so I could try
to reproduce it?

qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -kernel arch/arm/boot/zImage -no-reboot \
-initrd rootfs-armv5.cpio -m 128 \
--append "rdinit=/sbin/init console=ttyAMA0,115200" \
-dtb arch/arm/boot/dts/vexpress-v2p-ca9.dtb \
-nographic -monitor null -serial stdio

using multi_v7_defconfig will hang nicely with your patch applied,
and boot as expected without. This was with qemu v7.0, but I am
sure older qemu versions will show the same behavior. The initrd
used should not matter, but you'll find it at
https://github.com/groeck/linux-build-test/blob/master/rootfs/arm-v7/rootfs-armv5.cpio.gz

Hi Guenter,

Thanks for the information; I was able to reproduce this on my end as
well. The following changes fixed the problem for me. Can you please try
them out?

Most of the tests pass with the above applied, but there is still one crash.

This is with versatile_defconfig and versatileab. Let me know if you need details.
