[Xen-devel] [PATCH for-4.13 v4 01/19] docs/misc: xen-command-line: Remove wrong statement from serrors=diverse



When serrors=diverse is selected by the user, we will only synchronize
the pending SErrors on entry to hypervisor from guest context and exit
from guest to hypervisor context.

We don't need synchronize SErrors between guest context switch as they
would be categorized to Hypervisor generated SErrors in any case.

    The documentation for the option serrors will be fully reworked in a
    follow-up patch. But the dsb/isb in the context switch will be
    removed before the documentation rework. So to avoid any question
    while reviewing the next patch, drop it now.

    Changes in v3:
        - Add Stefano's reviewed-by

    Changes in v2:
        - Patch added

   1. dsb/isb on all EL1 -> EL2 trap entries to categorize SErrors correctly.
   2. dsb/isb on EL2 -> EL1 return paths to prevent slipping hypervisor

 * `forward`:
   The hypervisor will not distinguish guest SErrors from hypervisor SErrors.
