[kvm-unit-tests RFC PATCH v2 02/19] arm/arm64: psci: Don't run C code without stack or vectors

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

 



The psci test performs a series of CPU_ON/CPU_OFF cycles for CPU 1. This is
done by setting the entry point for the CPU_ON call to the physical address
of the C function cpu_psci_cpu_die.

The compiler is well within its rights to use the stack when generating
code for cpu_psci_cpu_die.  However, because no stack initialization has
been done, the stack pointer is zero, as set by KVM when creating the VCPU.
This causes a data abort without a change in exception level. The VBAR_EL1
register is also zero (the KVM reset value for VBAR_EL1), the MMU is off,
and we end up trying to fetch instructions from address 0x200.

At this point, a stage 2 instruction abort is generated which is taken to
KVM. KVM interprets this as an instruction fetch from an I/O region, and
injects a prefetch abort into the guest. Prefetch abort is a synchronous
exception, and on guest return the VCPU PC will be set to VBAR_EL1 + 0x200,
which is...  0x200. The VCPU ends up in an infinite loop causing a prefetch
abort while fetching the instruction to service the said abort.

cpu_psci_cpu_die is basically a wrapper over the HVC instruction, so
provide an assembly implementation for the function which will serve as the
entry point for CPU_ON.
