Subject: [boot-wrapper v3 0/4] Add Armv8-R AArch64 support
Date: Wed, 31 Jul 2024 15:10:59 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240731141103.2559706-1-luca.fancellu@arm.com> (raw)
Currently, we cannot boot Linux with boot-wrapper on Armv8-R AArch64:
1. The Armv8-R AArch64 profile does not support the EL3.
2. The Armv8-R AArch64 EL2 only supports a PMSA, which Linux does not
support. So it's necessary to drop into EL1 before entering the kernel.
3. There is no EL2 booting code for Armv8-R AArch64 and no
configuration for dropping to EL1 in boot-wrapper.
These patches enable boot-wrapper booting Linux with Armv8-R AArch64.
This work took inspiration from a serie already present upstream [1].

Changes from v2:
- Now this work is based on this serie:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-arm-kernel/cover/20240729161501.1806271-1-mark.rutland@arm.com/
Given the major rework, dropped every R-by.
Changes from v1:
- Dropped patch 4 regarding GIC changes, it's not needed anymore.
