I'm observing the ARC700 (nSIM) system freeze after this patch. ... f0000000.serial: ttyS0 at MMIO 0xf0000000 (irq = 24, base_baud = 3125000) is a 16550A printk: console [ttyS0] enabled printk: console [ttyS0] enabled printk: bootconsole [uart8250] disabled printk: bootconsole [uart8250] disabled NET: Registered PF_PACKET protocol family NET: Registered PF_KEY protocol family clk: Disabling unused clocks Freeing unused kernel image (initmem) memory: 2856K This architecture does not have kernel memory protection.
