[PATCH] arm64: mm: disable PAN during caches_clean_inval_user_pou

Brandt, Oliver - Lenze
2024-01-08T13:01:26Z

Using the cacheflush() syscall from an 32-bit user-space fails when
ARM64_PAN is used. We 'll get an endless loop:

1. executing "dc cvau, x2" results in raising an abort
2. abort handler does not fix the reason for the abort and
returns to 1.

Disabling PAN for the time of the cache maintenance fixes this.
