Subject: [PATCH 3/8] KVM: arm64: Factor out reusable vCPU reset helpers
Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2026 08:05:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260619070508.802802-4-tabba@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260619070508.802802-1-tabba@google.com>
Pull the reusable pieces out of kvm_reset_vcpu(): expose the reset
PSTATE values in kvm_arm.h, and split the core register reset and the
PSCI-driven reset into kvm_reset_vcpu_core() and kvm_reset_vcpu_psci().
A follow-up series reuses these to reset protected vCPUs at EL2.
No functional change intended.
