[PATCH v12 02/16] arm64: Convert hcalls to use HVC immediate value

Geoff Levand geoff at infradead.org
Tue Nov 24 14:25:33 PST 2015


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.
