[v14,04/20] arm64: Add new hcall HVC_CALL_FUNC

Commit Message

Geoff Levand March 4, 2016, 11:51 p.m. UTC

Add the new hcall HVC_CALL_FUNC that allows execution of a function at EL2.
During CPU reset the CPU must be brought to the exception level it had on
entry to the kernel.  The HVC_CALL_FUNC hcall will provide the mechanism
needed for this exception level switch.

To allow the HVC_CALL_FUNC exception vector to work without a stack, which
is needed to support an hcall at CPU reset, this implementation uses
register x18 to store the link register across the caller provided
function.  This dictates that the caller provided function must preserve
the contents of register x18.
