Event Timeline

sys/arm64/arm64/locore.S
378–390

Is there a reason to put this in a VHE only code path? It's also unlikely to need the isb as there is one before the eret that can be used as the context synchronization event.

sys/arm64/include/armreg.h
721–727 ↗(On Diff #149676)

This should be in hypervisor.h as it's an EL2 only register.

Moved HCRX register definition to hypervisor.h, moved initial
configuration of hcrx_el2 to after .Ldone_vhe

sys/arm64/arm64/locore.S
400

This will trash the cptr_el2 value. After msr spsr_el2, x5 will be safe as that's the last register set based on VHE vs non-VHE/

Move configuration of hcrx_el2 to avoid trashing cptr_el2
