Subject: [PATCH 2/2] arch: ensure idle domain is not left privileged
Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2022 19:05:49 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220330230549.26074-3-dpsmith@apertussolutions.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220330230549.26074-1-dpsmith@apertussolutions.com>

It is now possible to promote the idle domain to privileged during setup.  It
is not desirable for the idle domain to still be privileged when moving into a
running state. If the idle domain was elevated and not properly demoted, it is
desirable to fail at this point. This commit adds an assert for both x86 and
Arm just before transitioning to a running state that ensures the idle is not
privileged.
