I was able to reproduce this at my end but I had to use your config.

Digging further, it seems the issue is observed only when we use
in-kernel IPIs for cache flushing (instead of SBI calls) along with
some of the tracers (or debugging features) enabled. With the tracers
(or debug features) disabled we don't see any issue. In fact, the
upstream defconfig works perfectly fine with AIA drivers and
in-kernel IPIs.

It seems AIA based in-kernel IPIs are exposing some other issue
with RISC-V kernel. I will debug more to find the root cause.

Anup
