Here is my logic, I may have missed something obvious, see what you think:

SPSR_EL{1,2} shows the CPU mode 'M' in bits 0-4, From aarch64 bit 4 is always 0.
>From the register definitions in the ARM-ARM C5.2, likely values in 0-3 are:
0100 EL1t
0101 EL1h
1000 EL2t
1001 EL2h

I'm pretty sure this least significant bit is what SPSEL changes, so it does get
implicitly recorded in SPSR.
CurrentEL returns a value in bits 0-3, of which 0-1 are RES0, so we lose the
difference between EL?t and EL?h.

Do you need the memory clobber? This asm only modifies values in newregs.

Hmm, yes, its too fiddly to keep the existing behaviour of both.

The problems are ipi_cpu_stop() doesn't call cpu_die(), (I can't see a good
reason for this, but more archaeology is needed), and ipi_cpu_crash_stop()
doesn't modify the online cpu mask.

I don't suggest we do this yet, but it could be future cleanup if it's proved to
be safe:
smp_send_stop() is only called from:  machine_halt(), machine_power_off(),
machine_restart() and panic(). In all those cases the CPUs are never expected to
come back, so we can probably merge the IPIs.  This involves modifying the
online cpu mask during kdump, (which I think is fine as it uses the atomic
bitops so we won't get blocked on a lock), and promoting in_crash_kexec to some
atomic type.

But I think we should leave it as it is for now,


Thanks,

James
