This will cause a reset of the cpu registers to their initial values. If this is not called, KVM_RUN will return ENOEXEC for that vcpu. +The initial values are defined as: + - Processor state: + * AArch64: EL1h, D, A, I and F bits set. All other bits + are cleared. + * AArch32: SVC, A, I and F bits set. All other bits are + cleared. + - General Purpose registers, including PC and SP: set to 0 + - FPSIMD/NEON registers: set to 0 + - SVE registers: set to 0 + - System registers: Reset to their architecturally defined + values as for a warm reset to EL1 (resp. SVC) + Note that because some registers reflect machine topology, all vcpus should be created before this ioctl is invoked. |
