There is a regression on QEMU TCG (in emulation mode, not running under KVM):
qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt -cpu max -kernel Image -nographic
This doesn't implement EL3 or EL2, so SMC is UNDEFINED (DDI0487J.a R_HMXQS),
and we end up with an undef instruction exception. So this patch would
also break hardware that only implements EL1 (I don't know if it exists).
The easiest fix is to detect the SMC conduit through the PSCI node in DT.
SMCCC helpers already do this, but we can't use them this early in the
boot. I tested adding an early probe to the PSCI driver to check this, see
attached patches.
Note that we do need to test the conduit after finding a PSCI node,
because even though it doesn't implement EL2 in this configuration, QEMU
still accepts PSCI HVCs in order to support SMP.
Thanks,
