Also, the bcm2837-rpi-3-b uses Cortex-A53 cores and no L2C-310 cache. This undervoltage issue is actually an intermittent issue that was already present before. See next-20200616: https://kernelci.org/test/case/id/5ee880c10e8d4cd38797bf52/ https://storage.kernelci.org/next/master/next-20200616/arm64/defconfig/gcc-8/lab-baylibre/baseline-bcm2837-rpi-3-b.html#L708 I'll still take a closer look to be sure this is actually noise. The same revision built without CONFIG_RAMDOMIZE_BASE=y passed fine, although I don't see how this could be related: https://kernelci.org/test/plan/id/5ef1ccb2d9df2557d597bf20/ Maybe the rpi-3-b could get an undervoltage depending on the address where the kernel was loaded, and somehow my patch would make this more likely? It sounds so far-fetched... This is so ironic - after 6 months with no false positives in kernelci bisections, and this rpi-3-b issue too random to ever cause a bisection to succeed, I get this report which landed a commit that I made, one week after enabling public bisection email reports again. It must be trying to tell me something :) Guillaume > Breaking commit found: > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > commit 5b17a04addc29201dc142c8d2c077eb7745d2e35 > Author: Guillaume Tucker <guillaume.tucker@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Date: Fri Jun 12 14:58:37 2020 +0100 > > ARM: exynos: clear L310_AUX_CTRL_FULL_LINE_ZERO in default l2c_aux_val > > This "alert" error message can be seen on exynos4412-odroidx2: > > L2C: platform modifies aux control register: 0x02070000 -> 0x3e470001 > L2C: platform provided aux values permit register corruption. > > Followed by this plain error message: > > L2C-310: enabling full line of zeros but not enabled in Cortex-A9 > > To fix it, don't set the L310_AUX_CTRL_FULL_LINE_ZERO flag (bit 0) in > the default value of l2c_aux_val.
