In the past I've had long conversations about trapping to ARM TF as a means to simulate NMI. I haven't written any code to move in this direction but I still think of it as being the future-areas-of-interest pile. That said, whenever I search for (what I think are) sensible keywords for this subject I generally only find my own work! I may be selecting a rather blinkered set of keywords when I search but nevertheless it does mean I will probably have to rely on you to make introductions! Hi Daniel: I have checked that trapping to ARM TF could work well for aarch64 as NMI, and maybe we could discussion about it. :) Ding Daniel. _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel at lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
