...or starting failed. I think separating the errors is worth it, because that make debugging easier when something fails here or got out if sync somehow.

I think to commit is ok. But it makes this generic code now, how do other architectures cope with this change then? Do we gave to change something in the x86 VMM part also?

I believe vm_assign_vcpu_target is currently only used by ARM

Since this PR has multiple commits that seem independent, but have dependencies on other PRs, could you split this up that we can merge things independently and avoid unnecessary blocking? |

@Apave24 could you rebase this, then we also get another CI run there to see if this passes. |

Calling seL4_TCB_SetAffinity in the vm_assign_vcpu_target function allows the vcpu to correctly run on the cpu it is assigned to. Previously the vcpu was getting assigned to the same core as it's ID. Signed-off-by: Alex Pavey <Alex.Pavey@dornerworks.com>
Previously the target_cpu member was being used to determine if a vcpu was started in conjunction with the is_vcpu_online function. This is unneccessary and has been repurposed to keep track of whether or not the vcpu has been previously assigned a pcpu or not. Signed-off-by: Alex Pavey <Alex.Pavey@dornerworks.com>

@axel-h @abrandnewusername @kent-mcleod Hey guys, just wanted to ping on this PR. This series of PRs makes it so that when the VM kicks off a secondary core, the VMM pins the VCPU to a PCPU defined in the |
