Subject: [PATCHv2 2/2] Documentation/kvm/arm: improve description of HVC_SOFT_RESTART
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2020 21:39:58 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1598621998-20563-2-git-send-email-kernelfans@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1598621998-20563-1-git-send-email-kernelfans@gmail.com>

Besides disabling MMU, HVC_SOFT_RESTART also clears I+D bits. These behaviors
are what kexec-reboot expects, so describe it more precisely.

 Any other value of r0/x0 triggers a hypervisor-specific handling,
 which is not documented here.
