From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: jcm@redhat.com (Jon Masters) Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2014 14:55:38 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] setup: Move unmask of async interrupts after possible earlycon setup Message-ID: <1409079338-14001-1-git-send-email-jcm@redhat.com> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org The kernel wants to enable reporting of asynchronous interrupts (i.e. System Errors) as early as possible. But if this happens too early then a pending System Error on initial entry into the kernel will never be reported where a user can see it (instead it will remain in the kernel ring buffer and be visible only via hardware debug). Therefore, move the enabling of asynchronous interrupts to after parsing any possible earlycon parameters setting up earlycon.
