[PATCH 04/13] arm64: Add new hcall HVC_CALL_FUNC

Geoff Levand geoff at infradead.org
Tue Sep 9 15:49:04 PDT 2014


Add the new hcall HVC_CALL_FUNC that allows execution of a function at EL2.
During CPU reset the CPU must be brought to the exception level it had on
entry to the kernel.  The HVC_CALL_FUNC hcall will provide the mechanism
needed for this exception level switch.
