4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Julien Thierry <julien.thierry@arm.com>
commit f9b269f3098121b5d54aaf822e0898c8ed1d3fec upstream.
When HYP code runs into branch profiling code, it attempts to jump to unmapped memory, causing a HYP Panic.
Disable the branch profiling for code designed to run at HYP mode.
