[PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 039/268] arm64: mdscr_el1: avoid exposing DCC to userspace

[Kamal Mostafa]

4.2.8-ckt3 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@xxxxxxx>

commit d8d23fa0f27f3b2942a7bbc7378c7735324ed519 upstream.

We don't want to expose the DCC to userspace, particularly as there is
a kernel console driver for it.

This patch resets mdscr_el1 to disable userspace access to the DCC
registers on the cold boot path.
