Unable to complete the conversion of exception level from EL2 to EL1,After executing ERET, the CPU hangs up. I don't know why. Here's the code:
mrs x9, CurrentEL // Check the current exception level. cmp x9, CURRENTEL_EL1 beq .Ltarget cmp x9, CURRENTEL_EL2 beq .Lin_el2 // Otherwise, we are in EL3. // Set EL2 to 64bit and enable the HVC instruction. mrs x9, scr_el3 mov x10, SCR_EL3_NS | SCR_EL3_HCE | SCR_EL3_RW orr x9, x9, x10 msr scr_el3, x9 // Set the return address and exception level. adr x9, .Ltarget msr elr_el3, x9 mov x9, SPSR_ELX_DAIF | SPSR_ELX_EL1H msr spsr_el3, x9 .Lin_el2: // Disable EL1 timer traps and the timer offset. mrs x9, cnthctl_el2 orr x9, x9, CNTHCTL_EL2_EL1PCEN | CNTHCTL_EL2_EL1PCTEN msr cnthctl_el2, x9 msr cntvoff_el2, xzr // Disable stage 2 translations. msr vttbr_el2, xzr // Disable EL2 coprocessor traps. mov x9, CPTR_EL2_RES1 msr cptr_el2, x9 // Disable EL1 FPU traps. mov x9, CPACR_EL1_FPEN msr cpacr_el1, x9 // Check whether the GIC system registers are supported. mrs x9, id_aa64pfr0_el1 and x9, x9, ID_AA64PFR0_EL1_GIC cbz x9, .Lno_gic_sr /* */ // Enable the GIC system registers in EL2, and allow their use in EL1. mrs x9, ICC_SRE_EL2 mov x10, ICC_SRE_EL2_ENABLE | ICC_SRE_EL2_SRE orr x9, x9, x10 msr ICC_SRE_EL2, x9 // Disable the GIC virtual CPU interface. msr ICH_HCR_EL2, xzr .Lno_gic_sr: // Set EL1 to 64bit. mov x9, HCR_EL2_RW msr hcr_el2, x9 /* */ // Set the return address and exception level. adr x9, .Ltarget msr elr_el2, x9 mov x9, SPSR_ELX_DAIF | SPSR_ELX_EL1H msr spsr_el2, x9 /* */ isb eret .Ltarget: ret
I want to know if it's a code problem, or other problems, and how to transfer from EL2 to EL1!
Did you check the many other threads that are about EL-switching?
Only one thread is running the EL-switching.
I did not mean "computer thread" but "forum thread".
