Joachim Eastwood reports that commit fbfb872f5f41 "ARM: 8148/1: flush TLS and thumbee register state during exec" causes a boot-time crash on a Cortex-M4 nommu system: Freeing unused kernel memory: 68K (281e5000 - 281f6000) Unhandled exception: IPSR = 00000005 LR = fffffff1 CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper Not tainted 3.17.0-rc6-00313-gd2205fa30aa7 #191 task: 29834000 ti: 29832000 task.ti: 29832000 PC is at flush_thread+0x2e/0x40 LR is at flush_thread+0x21/0x40 pc : [<2800954a>] lr : [<2800953d>] psr: 4100000b sp : 29833d60 ip : 00000000 fp : 00000001 r10: 00003cf8 r9 : 29b1f000 r8 : 00000000 r7 : 29b0bc00 r6 : 29834000 r5 : 29832000 r4 : 29832000 r3 : ffff0ff0 r2 : 29832000 r1 : 00000000 r0 : 282121f0 xPSR: 4100000b CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper Not tainted 3.17.0-rc6-00313-gd2205fa30aa7 #191 [<2800afa5>] (unwind_backtrace) from [<2800a327>] (show_stack+0xb/0xc) [<2800a327>] (show_stack) from [<2800a963>] (__invalid_entry+0x4b/0x4c) The problem is that set_tls is attempting to clear the TLS location in the kernel-user helper page, which isn't set up on V7M. Fix this by guarding the write to the kuser helper page with a CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS ifdef.
