2013-03-20arm64: head: match all affinity levels in the pen of the secondariesJavi Merino
The reg property of the cpu nodes in the DT now contains all the affinity levels in (MPIDR[39:32] and MPIDR[23:0]) and that's what boot_secondary() writes in the pen, so increase the mask in secondary_holding_pen accordingly.

2013-01-22arm64: Add simple earlyprintk supportCatalin Marinas
This patch adds support for "earlyprintk=" parameter on the kernel command line. The format is: earlyprintk=<name>[,<addr>][,<options>] where <name> is the name of the (UART) device, e.g. "pl011", <addr> is the I/O address. The <options> aren't currently used. The mapping of the earlyprintk device is done very early during kernel boot and there are restrictions on which functions it can call. A special early_io_map() function is added which creates the mapping from the pre-defined EARLY_IOBASE to the device I/O address passed via the kernel parameter. The pgd entry corresponding to EARLY_IOBASE is pre-populated in head.S during kernel boot. Only PL011 is currently supported and it is assumed that the interface is already initialised by the boot loader before the kernel is started.

2012-12-05arm64: hyp: initialize vttbr_el2 to zeroMarc Zyngier
The architecture doesn't mandate any reset value for vttbr_el2. Better set it to a known value before some HYP code gets confused. Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2012-12-05arm64: add hypervisor stubMarc Zyngier
If booted in EL2, install an dummy hypervisor whose only purpose is to be replaced by a full fledged one. A minimal API allows to: - obtain the current HYP vectors (__hyp_get_vectors) - set new HYP vectors (__hyp_set_vectors) Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2012-12-05arm64: record boot mode when entering the kernelMarc Zyngier
To be able to signal the availability of EL2 to other parts of the kernel, record the boot mode. Once booted, two predicates indicate if HYP mode is available, and if not, whether this is due to a boot mode mismatch or not.

2012-12-05arm64: generic timer: use virtual counter instead of physical at EL0Will Deacon
We want to use the virtual counter at EL0, as the physical counter may not track the current clocksource for guests running under a hypervisor. This patch updates the vdso and generic timer driver to use the virtual counter. The kernel EL2 entry code is also updated to ensure that the virtual offset is initialised to zero.

2012-09-17arm64: Kernel booting and initialisationCatalin Marinas
The patch adds the kernel booting and the initial setup code. Documentation/arm64/booting.txt describes the booting protocol on the AArch64 Linux kernel. This is subject to change following the work on boot standardisation, ACPI.
