When a thread (which is picked by the scheduler) runs at the first time,
it needs a stack to store the data.

This patch set the stack for the arm_start_thread.

But this is common code between Arm64 and Arm32. How come you don't update
arm32?

Why do you need to save sp on Arm64 and not Arm32?
The arm32 also need to save sp.. this is bug for arm32..

How is it a bug given you said you were unable to test Arm32 guest? At the
moment, it looks like a bit random...
You can simulate it in mind, and you will know it...

I am not in your mind neither have time to spend trying to figure out how you think that. So how about you explain your reasoning?

Cheers,
