* arm64: Process managementCatalin Marinas2012-09-174-0/+846
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch adds support for thread creation and context switching. The context switching CPU specific code is introduced with the CPU support patch (part of the arch/arm64/mm/proc.S file). AArch64 supports ASID-tagged TLBs and the ASID can be either 8 or 16-bit wide (detectable via the ID_AA64AFR0_EL1 register).

* arm64: MMU fault handling and page table managementCatalin Marinas2012-09-178-0/+965
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for the handling of the MMU faults (exception entry code introduced by a previous patch) and page table management. The user translation table is pointed to by TTBR0 and the kernel one (swapper_pg_dir) by TTBR1. There is no translation information shared or address space overlapping between user and kernel page tables.

* arm64: MMU initialisationCatalin Marinas2012-09-173-0/+853
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch contains the initialisation of the memory blocks, MMU attributes and the memory map. Only five memory types are defined: Device nGnRnE (equivalent to Strongly Ordered), Device nGnRE (classic Device memory), Device GRE, Normal Non-cacheable and Normal Cacheable. Cache policies are supported via the memory attributes register (MAIR_EL1) and only affect the Normal Cacheable mappings. This patch also adds the SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP initialisation.

* arm64: MMU definitionsCatalin Marinas2012-09-179-0/+839
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* arm64: Exception handlingCatalin Marinas2012-09-176-0/+1441
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch contains the exception entry code (kernel/entry.S), pt_regs structure and related accessors, undefined instruction trapping and stack tracing. AArch64 Linux kernel (including kernel threads) runs in EL1 mode using the SP1 stack. The vectors don't have a fixed address, only alignment (2^11) requirements.

* arm64: Kernel booting and initialisationCatalin Marinas2012-09-173-0/+883
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
