[PATCH v2 2/6] xen/riscv: introduce reset_stack() function
Posted by Oleksii Kurochko 2 years, 7 months ago 
The reason for reset_stack() introduction is that stack should be
reset twice:
1. Before jumping to C world at the start of _start() function.
2. After jumping from 1:1 mapping world.

Looking at patch 4 you will want to add a comment here to emphasize
that a0 and a1 have to remain unclobbered.

Having seen how things end up by the end of the series, there's an
alternative: You could save a0 and a1 ahead of the 1st call to
reset_stack, rather than immediately afterwards.

It makes sense. So lets stick to saving of a0 and a1 before 1st call of
reset_stack().
