The Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI) is an ARM standard for registering callbacks from the platform firmware into the OS. This is typically used to implement RAS notifications. Such notifications enter the kernel at the registered entry-point with the register values of the interrupted CPU context. Because this is not a CPU exception, it cannot reuse the existing entry code. (crucially we don't implicitly know which exception level we interrupted), Add the entry point to entry.S to set us up for calling into C code. If the event interrupted code that had interrupts masked, we always return to that location. Otherwise we pretend this was an IRQ, and use SDEI's complete_and_resume call to return to vbar_el1 + offset. This allows the kernel to deliver signals to user space processes. For KVM this triggers the world switch, a quick spin round vcpu_run, then back into the guest, unless there are pending signals. Add sdei_mask_local_cpu() calls to the smp_send_stop() code, this covers the panic() code-path, which doesn't invoke cpuhotplug notifiers. Because we can interrupt entry-from/exit-to another EL, we can't trust the value in sp_el0 or x29, even if we interrupted the kernel, in this case the code in entry.S will save/restore sp_el0 and use the value in __entry_task. When we have VMAP stacks we can interrupt the stack-overflow test, which stirs x0 into sp, meaning we have to have our own VMAP stacks. For now these are allocated when we probe the interface. Future patches will add refcounting hooks to allow the arch code to allocate them lazily.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
