From 80c59dafb1a9a86fa996e6e34d06b60567c925ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Martin Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2012 08:47:17 -0800 Subject: ARM: virt: allow the kernel to be entered in HYP mode This patch does two things: * Ensure that asynchronous aborts are masked at kernel entry. The bootloader should be masking these anyway, but this reduces the damage window just in case it doesn't. * Enter svc mode via exception return to ensure that CPU state is properly serialised. This does not matter when switching from an ordinary privileged mode ("PL1" modes in ARMv7-AR rev C parlance), but it potentially does matter when switching from a another privileged mode such as hyp mode. This should allow the kernel to boot safely either from svc mode or hyp mode, even if no support for use of the ARM Virtualization Extensions is built into the kernel.
