[PATCH v12 00/16] arm64 kexec kernel patches v12

[Geoff Levand <geoff@infradead.org>]

Hi All,

This series adds the core support for kexec re-boot and kdump on ARM64.  This
version of the series combines Takahiro's kdump patches with my kexec patches.

Changes since v11:

o No changes, rebase to v4.4-rc2.

Changes since v10:

o Move the flush of the new image from arm64_relocate_new_kernel to machine_kexec.
o Pass values to arm64_relocate_new_kernel in registers, not in global variables.
o Fixups to setting the sctlr_el1 and sctlr_el2 flags.

To load a second stage kernel and execute a kexec re-boot or to work with kdump
on ARM64 systems a series of patches to kexec-tools [2], which have not yet been
merged upstream, are needed.

I have tested kexec with the ARM Foundation model, and Takahiro has reported
that kdump is working on the 96boards HiKey developer board.  Kexec on EFI
systems works correctly.  More ACPI + kexec testing is needed.

Patch 1 here moves the macros from proc-macros.S to asm/assembler.h so that the
dcache_line_size macro it defines can be uesd by kexec's relocate kernel
routine.

Patches 2 & 3 rework the ARM64 hcall mechanism to give the CPU reset routines
the ability to switch exception levels from EL1 to EL2 for kernels that were
entered in EL2.

Patch 4 allows KVM to handle a CPU reset.

Patches 5 - 7 add back the ARM64 CPU reset support that was recently removed
from the kernel.

Patches 8 - 10 add kexec support.

Patches 11-16 add kdump support.

Please consider all patches for inclusion.
