I upgraded from mid-February CURRENT (5dc00f00b747) to yesterday (f02879f19925) and my system panics during boot with panic: VFP exception in the kernel Most likely this panic is while trying to import the root ZFS pool. The crash is at the first vector instruction in zfs_sha256_block_neon (in zfs.ko): f9284: 4cdf7020 ld1 { v0.16b }, [x1], #16 This instruction is implemented on my CPU (Cortex A-57), confirmed by running it in user mode. I don't see any obviously related changes in ZFS since the last working kernel. What's going on recently with VFP in the kernel?
