Subject: [PATCH v4 13/21] arm64: entry: sdei: Make 'tsk' available
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2026 16:17:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908151741.394589-14-mark.rutland@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260908151741.394589-1-mark.rutland@arm.com>
For regular entry/exit sequences, we use 'tsk' (x28) to hold the current
task pointer, allowing this to be used by various assembly macros. The
SDEI entry/exit sequence uses x28 to hold the value of the interrupted
sp_el0, and doesn't retain the current task pointer in a register.
These differences makes it awkward to share assembly macros across
regular entry/exit and SDEI entry/exit, and risk surprises.
Align the SDEI entry/exit sequence with regular entry/exit, keeping the
current task pointer in 'tsk', and preserving the interrupted sp_el0 in
another (callee-saved) register. I've used x20 as x19 was already in
used for the relevant sdei_registered_event, and these are the
lowest-numbered registers above x18 (which we must preserve for shadow
call stack).
