[PATCH] xen/arm64: Zero the top 32 bits of gp registers on entry...



to hypervisor when switching to AArch32 state.

According to section D1.20.2 of Arm Arm(DDI 0487A.j):
"If the general-purpose register was accessible from AArch32 state the
upper 32 bits either become zero, or hold the value that the same
architectural register held before any AArch32 execution.
The choice between these two options is IMPLEMENTATIONDEFINED"

Currently Xen does not ensure that the top 32 bits are zeroed and this
needs to be fixed.

Fix this bug by zeroing the upper 32 bits of these registers on an
entry to hypervisor when switching to AArch32 state.

Set default value of parameter compat of macro entry to 0 (AArch64 mode
as we are on 64-bit hypervisor) to avoid checking if parameter is blank
when not passed.
