As I said before, if the SError hits as soon as you unmask it in EL2 (which appears what you are doing as the very first instruction when entering EL2), it is very unlikely that it was triggered by code running at EL2. > Additionally, TGE bit is set in hcr_el2 three times during PrePei > phase(ArmPlatformPkg/PrePi/AArch64/ArchPrePi.c),DxeMain(),ArmCpuDxe. > Please explain the purpose of setting it or require to be fixed? > IIRC this was added following a discussion with Eugene. Eugene, do you remember the details? I think the general idea is that no exceptions should be routed to EL1 before EL2 has had the chance of setting it up. _______________________________________________ edk2-devel mailing list edk2-devel@lists.01.org https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/edk2-devel
