> This set of patches fix a segmentation fault happening when kexec-ing

> 
> While the previous kernel shuts down, the tcb_clksrc driver leaves its
> interruptions unmasked. When the new kernel initiliazes any tclib making use of
> a TC block, an interruption may happen before the interrupt handler is set,
> causing a kernel segmentation fault.

> To prevent from such cases from happening, the last patch sets up the shutdown
> callback which masks interruptions when the machine is shutdown. Furthermore,
> it also masks the interruptions at probe to make sure no interruption happens
> before the handler is set. This will prevent freshly kexec-ed kernel from
> crashing when launched from a kernel which does not properly mask interruptions

Thanks a lot Gaël for this bug fix and cleanup!

Acked-by: Nicolas Ferre <nicolas.ferre at atmel.com>

The series is ready for inclusion in our next kernel release and I
integrate it on top of at91-3.18-cleanup2 branch.

Best regards,
