Marc,
Im seeing a failure to boot on an octeontx CN80xx (thunderx) due to
f2d8340 ("irqchip/gic-v3: Add GICv4.1 VPEID size discovery"). I'm not
sure if something is hanging, I just get no console output from the
kernel.
Is there perhaps something in the dt that requires change? The
board/dts I'm using is:
https://github.com/Gateworks/dts-newport/blob/sdk-10.1.1.0-newport/gw6404-linux.dts
https://github.com/Gateworks/dts-newport/blob/sdk-10.1.1.0-newport/gw640x-linux.dtsi
https://github.com/Gateworks/dts-newport/blob/sdk-10.1.1.0-newport/cn81xx-linux.dtsi
Any ideas? I've cc'd the Cavium/Marvell folk to see if they know
what's up or can reproduce on some of their hardware.
Best Regards,
Tim

That's odd. It probably means that a SError has been taken to EL3,
and the firmware is not equipped to deal with it. Great stuff!

This is most probably Cavium erratum 38539. Please give [1] a go and
let me know whether it helps by replying to the patch.
Thanks,

if you are booting with serial console, you could try to use earlycon
boot parameter to get more output. Though, I do not have the
parameters for that system at hand. You could try 'earlycon' without
parameters or perhaps 'earlycon=pl011,0x87e024000000' or similar (not
sure if that works, maybe check devicetree).

Marc,
Yup, this was it! We need to make sure this gets merged into 5.6. I
didn't have the original patch but attempted to reply via mailto:
link.
Best regards,
Tim
