Currently __turn_mmu_on is aligned to 64 bytes to ensure that it doesn't span any page boundary, which simplifies the idmap and spares us requiring an additional page table to map half of the function. In keeping with other important requirements in architecture code, this fact is undocumented. Additionally, as the function consists of three instructions totalling 12 bytes with no literal pool data, a smaller alignment of 16 bytes would be sufficient. This patch reduces the alignment to 16 bytes and documents the underlying reason for the alignment. This reduces the required alignment of the entire .head.text section from 64 bytes to 16 bytes, though it may still be aligned to a larger value depending on TEXT_OFFSET.

The CurrentEL system register reports the Current Exception Level of the CPU. It doesn't say anything about the stack handling, and yet we compare it to PSR_MODE_EL2t and PSR_MODE_EL2h. It works by chance because PSR_MODE_EL2t happens to match the right bits, but that's otherwise a very bad idea. Just check for the EL value instead.

set_cpu_boot_mode_flag is used to identify which exception levels are encountered across the system by CPUs trying to enter the kernel. The basic algorithm is: if a CPU is booting at EL2, it will set a flag at an offset of #4 from __boot_cpu_mode, a cacheline-aligned variable. Otherwise, a flag is set at an offset of zero into the same cacheline. This enables us to check that all CPUs booted at the same exception level. This cacheline is written with the stage-1 MMU off (that is, via a strongly-ordered mapping) and will bypass any clean lines in the cache, leading to potential coherence problems when the variable is later checked via the normal, cacheable mapping of the kernel image. This patch reworks the broken flushing code so that we: (1) Use a DMB to order the strongly-ordered write of the cacheline against the subsequent cache-maintenance operation (by-VA operations only hazard against normal, cacheable accesses). (2) Use a single dc ivac instruction to invalidate any clean lines containing a stale copy of the line after it has been updated.

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. Signed-off-by: NCatalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

This patch changes the idmap page table creation during boot to cover the whole kernel image, allowing functions like cpu_reset() to be safely called with the physical address. This patch also simplifies the create_block_map asm macro to no longer take an idmap argument and always use the phys/virt/end parameters. For the idmap case, phys == virt.

The refactoring of el2_setup split code setting up EL2 and detecting the CPU boot mode in separate chunks. This allows the code that sets up EL2 to run in an endian independent way - ie before the endianess is set up in the respective sctlr registers. This patch brings secondary_entry up-to-date so that CPUs entering the kernel through this code path set-up EL2 and the cpu boot mode properly.

The endianness of memory accesses at EL2 and EL1 are configured by SCTLR_EL2.EE and SCTLR_EL1.EE respectively. When the kernel is booted, the state of SCTLR_EL{2,1}.EE is unknown, and thus the kernel must ensure that they are set before performing any memory accesses. This patch ensures that SCTLR_EL{2,1} are configured appropriately at boot for kernels of either endianness.

Currently, the code for setting the __cpu_boot_mode flag is munged in with el2_setup. This makes things difficult on a BE bringup as a memory access has to have occurred before el2_setup which is the place that we'd like to set the endianess on the current EL. Create a new function for setting __cpu_boot_mode and have el2_setup return the mode the CPU. Also define a new constant in virt.h, BOOT_CPU_MODE_EL1, for readability.

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.

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.
