Bug#768890: linux: Please enable CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_430973

[Sebastian Reichel <sre@debian.org>]

Source: linux
Version: 3.16.5-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Please enable the arm errata 430973 workaround in the armmp kernel.
Otherwise thumb binaries crash randomly on the Nokia N900.

root@n900:~# apt-get install ...
[...]
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg received a segmentation fault.
root@n900:~# dpkg --configure -a
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.19-12) ...
root@n900:~# dmesg | grep -A1 430973
[    0.405273] RX-51: Not enabling ARM errata 430973 workaround
[    0.405334] Thumb binaries may crash randomly without this workaround
root@n900:~# grep 430973 /boot/config-3.16.0-4-armmp 
# CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_430973 is not set
