Same here. I only see the issue for *one* scenario. Other than that
scenario, AIA is working fine! We're doing ftrace text patching, and I
wonder if this is the issue. RISC-V (unfortunately) still rely on
stop_machine() text patching (which will change!).
Again, the hang is in stop_machine() context, where interrupts should
very much be disabled, right? So, triggering an IPI will be impossible.
Dumping mstatus in QEMU:
| mstatus 0000000a000000a0
| mstatus 0000000a000000a0
| mstatus 0000000a000000a0
| mstatus 0000000a000000a0
Indeed sstatus.SIE is 0.
Seems like the bug is that text patching is trying to issue an IPI:
