Steve Capper 0370b31e48 arm64: Extend early page table code to allow for larger kernels
Currently the early assembler page table code assumes that precisely
1xpgd, 1xpud, 1xpmd are sufficient to represent the early kernel text
mappings.

Unfortunately this is rarely the case when running with a 16KB granule,
and we also run into limits with 4KB granule when building much larger
kernels.

This patch re-writes the early page table logic to compute indices of
mappings for each level of page table, and if multiple indices are
required, the next-level page table is scaled up accordingly.

Also the required size of the swapper_pg_dir is computed at link time
to cover the mapping [KIMAGE_ADDR + VOFFSET, _end]. When KASLR is
enabled, an extra page is set aside for each level that may require extra
entries at runtime.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
