On a system without uniform support for AArch32 at EL0, it is possible for the guest to force run AArch32 at EL0 and potentially cause an illegal exception if running on a core without AArch32. Add an extra check so that if we catch the guest doing that, then we prevent it from running again by resetting vcpu->arch.target and return ARM_EXCEPTION_IL. We try to catch this misbehaviour as early as possible and not rely on an illegal exception occuring to signal the problem. Attempting to run a 32bit app in the guest will produce an error from QEMU if the guest exits while running in AArch32 EL0. Tested on Juno by instrumenting the host to fake asym aarch32 and instrumenting KVM to make the asymmetry visible to the guest.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
