The comment is just fine. It is the code that is wrong, as it avoids setting E2H when E2H0 < 0 while we want the exact opposite behaviour. As a result, 'b.lt' really should be a 'b.ge'. Or the original code kept as is. > > > + * > > + * Fruity CPUs seem to have HCR_EL2.E2H set to RAO/WI, but > > + * don't advertise it (they predate this relaxation). > > + * > > + * Initalize HCR_EL2.E2H so that later code can rely upon HCR_EL2.E2H > > + * indicating whether the CPU is running in E2H mode. > > + */ > > I think it is even better to clear the HCR_E2H bit first. This can > avoid any dependency on the passed parameter 'val'. What are you trying to avoid? A random value passed as a parameter to the macro?
