Mark Rutland 3cea71bc6b arm64: ensure completion of TLB invalidatation
Currently there is no dsb between the tlbi in __cpu_setup and the write
to SCTLR_EL1 which enables the MMU in __turn_mmu_on. This means that the
TLB invalidation is not guaranteed to have completed at the point
address translation is enabled, leading to a number of possible issues
including incorrect translations and TLB conflict faults.

This patch moves the tlbi in __cpu_setup above an existing dsb used to
synchronise I-cache invalidation, ensuring that the TLBs have been
invalidated at the point the MMU is enabled.

Matthew Leach 9cf7172893 arm64: big-endian: set correct endianess on kernel entry
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.

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.

Will Deacon 9c413e25d9 arm64: debug: clear mdscr_el1 instead of taking the OS lock
During boot, we take the debug OS lock before interrupts are enabled.
This is required to prevent clearing of PSTATE.D on the interrupt entry
path, which could result in spurious debug exceptions before we've got
round to resetting things like the hardware breakpoints registers to a
sane state.

A problem with this approach is that taking the OS lock prevents an
external JTAG debugger from debugging the system, which is especially
irritating during boot, where JTAG debugging can be most useful.

This patch clears mdscr_el1 rather than taking the lock, clearing the
MDE and KDE bits and preventing self-hosted hardware debug exceptions
from occurring.

Catalin Marinas 0d0109a440 arm64: Do not set the SMP/nAMP processor bit
If such bit exists on a given CPU, it must be set by the firmware or
boot-loader prior to starting the kernel (see
Documentation/arm64/booting.txt).

Catalin Marinas 9cce7a435f arm64: CPU support
This patch adds AArch64 CPU specific functionality. It assumes that the
implementation is generic to AArch64 and does not require specific
identification. Different CPU implementations may require the setting of
various ACTLR_EL1 bits but such information is not currently available
and it should ideally be pushed to firmware.
