[PATCH 3/8] arm64: Add new hcall HVC_CALL_FUNC

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add the new hcall HVC_CALL_FUNC that allows execution of a function at EL2.
During CPU reset the CPU must be brought to the exception level it had on
entry to the kernel.  The HVC_CALL_FUNC hcall will provide the mechanism
needed for this exception level switch.
