commit 44b3834b2eed595af07021b1c64e6f9bc396398b upstream. Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A72 have an erratum where an interrupt that occurs between a pair of AES instructions in aarch32 mode may corrupt the ELR. The task will subsequently produce the wrong AES result. The AES instructions are part of the cryptographic extensions, which are optional. User-space software will detect the support for these instructions from the hwcaps. If the platform doesn't support these instructions a software implementation should be used. Remove the hwcap bits on affected parts to indicate user-space should not use the AES instructions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
