[ Upstream commit e761a927bc9a7ee6ceb7c4f63d5922dbced87f0d ] We have two ways to reset a vcpu: - either through VCPU_INIT - or through a PSCI_ON call The first one is easy to reason about. The second one is implemented in a more bizarre way, as it is the vcpu that handles PSCI_ON that resets the vcpu that is being powered-on. As we need to turn the logic around and have the target vcpu to reset itself, we must take some preliminary steps. Resetting the VCPU state modifies the system register state in memory, but this may interact with vcpu_load/vcpu_put if running with preemption disabled, which in turn may lead to corrupted system register state. Address this by disabling preemption and doing put/load if required around the reset logic.

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.
