[PATCH V3 2/2] powerpc/kexec: Reset HILE before entering target kernel

Fri Jul 10 15:19:59 AEST 2015


On powernv secondary cpus are returned to OPAL, and will then enter the
target kernel in big-endian. However if it is set the HILE bit will persist,
causing the first exception in the target kernel to be delivered in
litte-endian regardless of the current endianess.

If running on top of OPAL make sure the HILE bit is reset before any
thread branches into the target kernel.
