[PATCH] arm: mm: fault: check ADFSR in case of abort

From: Wiebe, Wladislav (Nokia - DE/Ulm)
Date: Mon Oct 29 2018 - 10:20:58 EST


When running into situations like:
"Unhandled fault: synchronous external abort (0x210) at 0xXXX"
or
"Unhandled prefetch abort: synchronous external abort (0x210) at 0xXXX"
it is useful to know the content of ADFSR (Auxiliary Data Fault Status
Register) to indicate an ECC double-bit error in L1 or L2 cache.

Refer to:
Cortex-A15 Technical Reference Manual, Revision: r2p1
[6.4.8. Error Correction Code]
