3.16.7-ckt24 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@xxxxxxx> commit d8d23fa0f27f3b2942a7bbc7378c7735324ed519 upstream. We don't want to expose the DCC to userspace, particularly as there is a kernel console driver for it. This patch resets mdscr_el1 to disable userspace access to the DCC registers on the cold boot path.
