If the INCREMENT_PC flag was set (e.g., for WFx emulation) while we're
handling PSCI CPU_ON call targetting this VCPU, the *target_pc* (aka
entry point address, normally provided by the primary VCPU) will be
unexpectedly incremented here. That's pretty bad, I think.
This was noticed with a latest guest kernel, at least with commit
dccc9da22ded ("arm64: Improve parking of stopped CPUs"), which put the
stopped VCPUs in the WFx loop. The guest kernel shouted at me that
"CPU: CPUs started in inconsistent modes"
*after* rebooting. The problem is that the secondary entry point was
corrupted by KVM as explained above. All of the secondary processors
started from set_cpu_boot_mode_flag(), with w0=0. Oh well...
I write the below diff and guess it will help. But I have to look at all
other places where we adjust PC directly to make a right fix. Please let
me know what do you think.
Thanks,
Zenghui
