A noted side-effect of commit0c6c2d3615("arm64: Generate cpucaps.h") is that cpucaps are now sorted, changing the enumeration order. This assumed no dependencies between cpucaps, which turned out not to be true in one case. UNMAP_KERNEL_AT_EL0 currently needs to be processed after WORKAROUND_CAVIUM_27456. ThunderX systems are incompatible with KPTI, so unmap_kernel_at_el0() bails if WORKAROUND_CAVIUM_27456 is set. But because of the sorting, WORKAROUND_CAVIUM_27456 will not yet have been considered when unmap_kernel_at_el0() checks for it, so the kernel tries to run w/ KPTI - and quickly falls over. Because all ThunderX implementations have homogeneous CPUs, we can remove this dependency by just checking the current CPU for the erratum.

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.
