The arm64 kernel has an internal holding pen, which is necessary for some systems where we can't bring CPUs online individually and must hold multiple CPUs in a safe area until the kernel is able to handle them. The current SMP infrastructure for arm64 is closely coupled to this holding pen, and alternative boot methods must launch CPUs into the pen, where they sit before they are launched into the kernel proper. With PSCI (and possibly other future boot methods), we can bring CPUs online individually, and need not perform the secondary_holding_pen dance. Instead, this patch factors the holding pen management code out to the spin-table boot method code, as it is the only boot method requiring the pen. A new entry point for secondaries, secondary_entry is added for other boot methods to use, which bypasses the holding pen and its associated overhead when bringing CPUs online. The smp.pen.text section is also removed, as the pen can live in head.text without problem. The cpu_operations structure is extended with two new functions, cpu_boot and cpu_postboot, for bringing a cpu into the kernel and performing any post-boot cleanup required by a bootmethod (e.g. resetting the secondary_holding_pen_release to INVALID_HWID). Documentation is added for cpu_operations. Signed-off-by: NMark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: NCatalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

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.

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.

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.

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: NMarc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> Signed-off-by: NCatalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

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: NMarc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> Signed-off-by: NCatalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

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.

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.

The patch adds the kernel booting and the initial setup code. Documentation/arm64/booting.txt describes the booting protocol on the AArch64 Linux kernel.
