Mark Salter bf4b558eba arm64: add early_ioremap support
Add support for early IO or memory mappings which are needed before the
normal ioremap() is usable.  This also adds fixmap support for permanent
fixed mappings such as that used by the earlyprintk device register
region.

Catalin Marinas c218bca74e arm64: Relax the kernel cache requirements for boot
With system caches for the host OS or architected caches for guest OS we
cannot easily guarantee that there are no dirty or stale cache lines for
the areas of memory written by the kernel during boot with the MMU off
(therefore non-cacheable accesses).

This patch adds the necessary cache maintenance during boot and relaxes
the booting requirements.

Mark Rutland 4fcd6e1416 Docs: arm64: booting: clarify boot requirements
There are a few points in the arm64 booting document which are unclear
(such as the initial state of secondary CPUs), and/or have not been
documented (PSCI is a supported mechanism for booting secondary CPUs).

This patch amends the arm64 boot document to better express the
(existing) requirements, and to describe PSCI as a supported booting
mechanism.

Will Deacon 374ed9d18e arm64: documentation: tighten up tagged pointer documentation
Commit d50240a5f6 ("arm64: mm: permit use of tagged pointers at EL0")
added support for tagged pointers in userspace, but the corresponding
update to Documentation/ contained some imprecise statements.

This patch fixes up some minor ambiguities in the text, hopefully making
it more clear about exactly what the kernel expects from user virtual
addresses.

Will Deacon d50240a5f6 arm64: mm: permit use of tagged pointers at EL0
TCR.TBI0 can be used to cause hardware address translation to ignore the
top byte of userspace virtual addresses. Whilst not especially useful in
standard C programs, this can be used by JITs to `tag' pointers with
various pieces of metadata.

This patch enables this bit for AArch64 Linux, and adds a new file to
Documentation/arm64/ which describes some potential caveats when using
tagged virtual addresses.

Roy Franz 4370eec05a arm64: Expand arm64 image header
Expand the arm64 image header to allow for co-existance with
PE/COFF header required by the EFI stub.  The PE/COFF format
requires the "MZ" header to be at offset 0, and the offset
to the PE/COFF header to be at offset 0x3c.  The image
header is expanded to allow 2 instructions at the beginning
to accommodate a benign intruction at offset 0 that includes
the "MZ" header, a magic number, and the offset to the PE/COFF
header.

Catalin Marinas 2475ff9d2c arm64: Add simple earlyprintk support
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.

Catalin Marinas 4f04d8f005 arm64: MMU definitions
The virtual memory layout is described in
Documentation/arm64/memory.txt. This patch adds the MMU definitions for
the 4KB and 64KB translation table configurations. The SECTION_SIZE is
2MB with 4KB page and 512MB with 64KB page configuration.

PHYS_OFFSET is calculated at run-time and stored in a variable (no
run-time code patching at this stage).

On the current implementation, both user and kernel address spaces are
512G (39-bit) each with a maximum of 256G for the RAM linear mapping.
Linux uses 3 levels of translation tables with the 4K page configuration
and 2 levels with the 64K configuration. Extending the memory space
beyond 39-bit with the 4K pages or 42-bit with 64K pages requires an
additional level of translation tables.

The SPARSEMEM configuration is global to all AArch64 platforms and
allows for 1GB sections with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP enabled by default.
