many aarch64 machines exit with "fatal: Lockup: can't escalate 3 to HardFault"

Host environment

  • Operating system: Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
  • OS/kernel version: 6.8.0-51-generic
  • Architecture: x86_64
  • QEMU flavor: qemu-system-aarch64
  • QEMU version: QEMU emulator version 9.2.50 (v9.2.0-319-gca80a5d026)
  • QEMU command line:
qemu-system-aarch64 -machine netduino2
qemu-system-aarch64 -machine microbit
...

Emulated/Virtualized environment

  • Operating system: custom
  • Architecture: aarch64

Description of problem

-machine netduino2 and -machine microbit and many others dump core

Steps to reproduce

qemu-system-aarch64 -machine netduino2
qemu-system-aarch64 -machine microbit
...
$ for x in microbit netduino2 b-l475e-iot01a emcraft-sf2 fby35-bmc lm3s6965evb lm3s811evb musca-a musca-b1 netduinoplus2 olimex-stm32-h405 stm32vldiscovery
do qemu-system-aarch64 -machine $x
done

and all the mps2-* machines all result in

qemu: fatal: Lockup: can't escalate 3 to HardFault (current priority -1)
