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. To avoid all of this, lets use the assembly function halt as the CPU_ON entry address. Also, expand the check to test that we only get PSCI_RET_SUCCESS exactly once, as we're never offlining the CPU during the test.
