Subject: [PATCH v2] KVM: arm64: fix misleading comments in save/restore
Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2015 14:28:37 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1433424517-31816-1-git-send-email-alex.bennee@linaro.org> (raw)
The elr_el2 and spsr_el2 registers in fact contain the processor state
before entry into EL2. In the case of guest state it could be in either
el0 or el1.
