ARM: 8758/1: decompressor: restore r1 and r2 just before jumping to the kernel

2018-06-20T19:01:46+00:00

[ Upstream commit f2ae9de019e4e2807d812ec4fe1df7c34788a0a0 ] The hypervisor setup before __enter_kernel destroys the value sotred in r1. The value needs to be restored just before the jump.

ARM: add additional table to compressed kernel

2017-10-03T12:27:07+00:00

Add an additional extendable table to the compressed kernel so that we can provide further information to boot loaders regarding the properties of the image contained within. This is necessary for correct behaviour of kexec. Tested-by: Tony Lindgren Tested-by: Keerthy Signed-off-by: Russell King

ARM: 8677/1: boot/compressed: fix decompressor header layout for v7-M

2017-06-05T09:29:40+00:00

As reported by Patrice, the header layout of the decompressor is incorrect when building for v7-M. In this case, the __nop macro resolves to 'mov r0, r0', which is emitted as a narrow encoding, resulting in the header data fields to end up at lower offsets than required. Given the variety of targets we need to support with the same code, the startup sequence is a bit of a jumble, and uses instructions and macros whose encoding widths cannot be specified (badr), or only exist in a narrow encoding (bx) So force the use of a wide encoding in __nop, and replace the start sequence with a simple jump to the label marking the start of code, preceded by a Thumb2 mode switch if required (using explicit wide encodings where appropriate). The label itself can be moved to the start of code [where it belongs] due to the larger range of branch instructions as compared to adr instructions.

ARM: decompressor: Remove __hyp_get_vectors usage

2017-04-09T14:49:33+00:00

When the compressed image needs to be relocated to avoid being overwritten by the decompression process, we need to relocate the hyp vectors as well so that we can find them once the decompression has taken effect. For that, we perform the following calculation: u32 v = __hyp_get_vectors(); v += offset; __hyp_set_vectors(v); But we're guaranteed that the initial value of v as returned by __hyp_get_vectors is always __hyp_stub_vectors, because we have just set it by calling __hyp_stub_install. So let's remove the use of __hyp_get_vectors, and directly use __hyp_stub_vectors instead.

ARM: 8618/1: decompressor: reset ttbcr fields to use TTBR0 on ARMv7

2016-10-02T19:05:14+00:00

If the bootloader uses the long descriptor format and jumps to kernel decompressor code, TTBCR may not be in a right state. Before enabling the MMU, it is required to clear the TTBCR.PD0 field to use TTBR0 for translation table walks. The commit dbece45894d3a ("ARM: 7501/1: decompressor: reset ttbcr for VMSA ARMv7 cores") does the reset of TTBCR.N, but doesn't consider all the bits for the size of TTBCR.N. Clear TTBCR.PD0 field and reset all the three bits of TTBCR.N to indicate the use of TTBR0 and the correct base address width.

ARM: add UEFI stub support

2015-12-14T09:38:21+00:00

This patch adds EFI stub support for the ARM Linux kernel. The EFI stub operates similarly to the x86 and arm64 stubs: it is a shim between the EFI firmware and the normal zImage entry point, and sets up the environment that the zImage is expecting. This includes optionally loading the initrd and device tree from the system partition based on the kernel command line.

ARM: replace BSYM() with badr assembly macro

2015-05-08T16:33:50+00:00

BSYM() was invented to allow us to work around a problem with the assembler, where local symbols resolved by the assembler for the 'adr' instruction did not take account of their ISA. Since we don't want BSYM() used elsewhere, replace BSYM() with a new macro 'badr', which is like the 'adr' pseudo-op, but with the BSYM() mechanics integrated into it. This ensures that the BSYM()-ification is only used in conjunction with 'adr'. Acked-by: Dave Martin Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre Signed-off-by: Russell King

This patch makes it possible to enter zImage in Thumb mode for ARMv7-M (Cortex-M) CPUs that do not support ARM mode. The kernel entry is also made in Thumb mode.
