From c0d8832e78cbfd4a64b7112e34920af4b0b0e60e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Suzuki K Poulose Date: Fri, 6 Oct 2017 14:16:52 +0100 Subject: arm64: Ensure the instruction emulation is ready for userspace We trap and emulate some instructions (e.g, mrs, deprecated instructions) for the userspace. However the handlers for these are registered as late_initcalls and the userspace could be up and running from the initramfs by that time (with populate_rootfs, which is a rootfs_initcall()). This could cause problems for the early applications ending up in failure like : [ 11.152061] modprobe[93]: undefined instruction: pc=0000ffff8ca48ff4 This patch promotes the specific calls to core_initcalls, which are guaranteed to be completed before we hit userspace.

Make sure we are ready even before the userspace could potentially use it, by promoting to a core_initcall.
