[PATCH kvm-unit-tests] arm: powerpc: comment halt(code)

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

 



We're being a bit tricky when we change the prototype of halt() to
take 'code' as an argument. Doing this gives us a last chance to
see it when inspecting the halted unit test state (it'll be in
r0/x0 for arm/arm64 and r3 for powerpc.) Let's comment this trick
to avoid confusion.
