From e7273ff49acf58a5ca9c656f3f0a5dd713390853 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marc Zyngier Date: Fri, 18 Dec 2015 11:06:47 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 8488/1: Make IPI_CPU_BACKTRACE a "non-secure" SGI Having IPI_CPU_BACKTRACE as SGI15 may not work if the kernel is running in non-secure mode and that the secure firmware has decided to follow ARM's recommendations that SGI8-15 should be reserved for secure purpose. Now that we are "only" using SGI0-6, change IPI_CPU_BACKTRACE to use SGI7, which makes it more likely to work.
