[PATCH 0/2] arm64: head.S cleanup

[Mark Rutland]

While looking at head.S, I saw that over time we've grown some
convoluted code paths that can be simplified.

These patches clean those up.

Thanks,
Mark.

[PATCH 1/2] arm64: reduce el2_setup branching

[Mark Rutland]

The early el2_setup code is a little convoluted, with two branches where
one would do. This makes the code more painful to read than is
necessary.

We can remove a branch and simplify the logic by moving the early return
in the booted-at-EL1 case earlier in the function. This separates it
from all the setup logic that only makes sense for EL2.

[PATCH 2/2] arm64: move !VHE work to end of el2_setup

[Mark Rutland]

We only need to initialise sctlr_el1 if we're installing an EL2 stub, so
we may as well defer this until we're doing so. Similarly, we can defer
intialising CPTR_EL2 until then, as we do not access any trapped
functionality as part of el2_setup.

This patch modified el2_setup accordingly, allowing us to remove a
branch and simplify the code flow.

Mark, Marc, do these patches conflict with the hyp stub cleanup? If
there is some overlap, I'm happy for them to go via the kvm tree
together with the others.

I don't think there is any overlap, my changes stay clear of head.S.

Thanks,

Thanks (for the ack as well). Queued for 4.12.
