[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 6/7] ARM: extend non-secure switch to also go into HYP mode

Andre Przywara andre.przywara at linaro.org
Wed Jul 10 01:54:18 CEST 2013


For the KVM and XEN hypervisors to be usable, we need to enter the
kernel in HYP mode. Now that we already are in non-secure state,
HYP mode switching is within short reach.

While doing the non-secure switch, we have to enable the HVC
instruction and setup the HYP mode HVBAR (while still secure).

The actual switch is done by dropping back from a HYP mode handler
without actually leaving HYP mode, so we introduce a new handler
routine in our new secure exception vector table.

In the assembly switching routine we save and restore the banked LR
and SP registers around the hypercall to do the actual HYP mode
switch.

The C routine first checks whether we are in HYP mode already and
also whether the virtualization extensions are available. It also
checks whether the HYP mode switch was finally successful.
The bootm command part only adds and adjusts some error reporting.
