[PATCH v3] xen/arm64: Zero the top 32 bits of gp registers on entry...



to hypervisor when switching from 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 IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED"

Currently Xen does not ensure that the top 32 bits are zeroed and this
needs to be fixed. The reason why is that there are places in Xen
where we assume that top 32bits are zero for AArch32 guests.
If they are not, this can lead to misinterpretation of Xen regarding
what the guest requested. For example hypercalls returning an error
encoded in a signed long like do_sched_op, do_hmv_op, do_memory_op
would return -ENOSYS if the command passed as the first argument was
clobbered.

Create a macro clobber_gp_top_halves to clobber top 32 bits of gp
registers when hyp == 0 (guest mode) and compat == 1 (AArch32 mode).
Add a compile time check to ensure that save_x0_x1 == 1 if
compat == 1.

Changes since v2:
-add clobbering of w30
Changes since v1:
-put new code into macro
-add compile time check for save_x0_x1
