[PATCH v15 03/20] arm64: Convert hcalls to use HVC immediate value

Geoff Levand geoff at infradead.org
Mon Mar 14 10:48:00 PDT 2016


The existing arm64 hcall implementations are limited in that they only
allow for two distinct hcalls; with the x0 register either zero or not
zero.  Also, the API of the hyp-stub exception vector routines and the
KVM exception vector routines differ; hyp-stub uses a non-zero value in
x0 to implement __hyp_set_vectors, whereas KVM uses it to implement
kvm_call_hyp.

To allow for additional hcalls to be defined and to make the arm64 hcall
API more consistent across exception vector routines, change the hcall
implementations to use the 16 bit immediate value of the HVC instruction
to specify the hcall type.

Define three new preprocessor macros HVC_CALL_HYP, HVC_GET_VECTORS, and
HVC_SET_VECTORS to be used as hcall type specifiers and convert the
existing __hyp_get_vectors(), __hyp_set_vectors() and kvm_call_hyp()
routines to use these new macros when executing an HVC call.  Also,
change the corresponding hyp-stub and KVM el1_sync exception vector
routines to use these new macros.
