__arch_get_hw_counter() should check clock_mode to see if it can access CNTVCT. With the conversion to unified vDSO this check has been left out. This causes on imx v6 and v7 (imx_v6_v7_defconfig) and other platforms to hang at boot during the execution of the init process as per below: [ 19.976852] Run /sbin/init as init process [ 20.044931] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000004 Fix the problem verifying that clock_mode is set coherently before accessing CNTVCT.

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.
