linux.git/arch/arm64/kernel/cpu-reset.S, branch v4.11 Linux kernel source tree arm64: Add back cpu reset routines 2016-06-27T15:31:25+00:00 Geoff Levand geoff@infradead.org 2016-06-23T17:54:48+00:00 f9076ecfb1216a478312b1c078d04792df6d4477 Commit 68234df4ea79 ("arm64: kill flush_cache_all()") removed the global arm64 routines cpu_reset() and cpu_soft_restart() needed by the arm64 kexec and kdump support. Add back a simplified version of cpu_soft_restart() with some changes needed for kexec in the new files cpu_reset.S, and cpu_reset.h. When a CPU is reset it needs to be put into the exception level it had when it entered the kernel. Update cpu_soft_restart() to accept an argument which signals if the reset address should be entered at EL1 or EL2, and add a new hypercall HVC_SOFT_RESTART which is used for the EL2 switch.

Commit 68234df4ea79 ("arm64: kill flush_cache_all()") removed the global
arm64 routines cpu_reset() and cpu_soft_restart() needed by the arm64
kexec and kdump support.  Add back a simplified version of
cpu_soft_restart() with some changes needed for kexec in the new files
cpu_reset.S, and cpu_reset.h.

When a CPU is reset it needs to be put into the exception level it had when
it entered the kernel. Update cpu_soft_restart() to accept an argument
which signals if the reset address should be entered at EL1 or EL2, and
add a new hypercall HVC_SOFT_RESTART which is used for the EL2 switch.
