Thanks for the pointers.

With patch 7 I can build a defconfig from the arm64 for-next/core
branch, but it panics (in hyp) on my Juno R1 when initialising hyp.

If I build that branch with the Linaro 17.05 GCC 6.3.1 toolchain, I get
all the way to userspace.

The same is true (for both compilers) with v4.14-rc7.

I guess that in Google you haven't tested on a platform with EL2
available?

The PC in question is:

[mark at lakrids:~/src/linux]% uselinaro 17.05 aarch64-linux-gnu-addr2line -ife vmlinux ffff0000089e6fd8
__init_stage2_translation
/home/mark/src/linux/arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/s2-setup.c:38

AFAICT, the generated assembly is only using PC-relative branches, and
no absolute relocations:

... so I guess something is going wrong around kvm_call_hyp() where this
is called from EL1.

Thanks,
Mark.
