c1cc155261 arm64: MMU initialisation
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.

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.

60ffc30d56 arm64: Exception handling
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.

9703d9d7f7 arm64: Kernel booting and initialisation
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.

0be7320a63 arm64: Assembly macros and definitions
This patch introduces several assembly macros and definitions used in
the .S files across arch/arm64/ like IRQ disabling/enabling, together
with asm-offsets.c.
