2013-10-25arm64: compat: add support for big-endian (BE8) AArch32 binariesWill Deacon
This patch adds support for BE8 AArch32 tasks to the compat layer. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

2012-11-08arm64: mm: fix booting on systems with no memory below 4GBWill Deacon
Booting on a system with all of its memory above the 4GB boundary breaks for two reasons: (1) We still try to create a non-empty DMA32 zone (2) no-bootmem limits allocations to 0xffffffff This patch fixes these issues for ARM64.

2012-10-18arm64: No need to set the x0-x2 registers in start_thread()Catalin Marinas
For historical reasons, ARM used to set r0-r2 in start_thread() to the first values on the user stack when starting a new user application. The same logic has been inherited in AArch64. The x0 register is overridden by the sys_execve() return value so it's always zero on success. The x1 and x2 registers are ignored by AArch64 and EABI AArch32 applications, so we can safely remove the register setting for both native and compat user space. This also fixes a potential fault with the kernel accessing user space stack directly. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Reported-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-10-17arm64: Use generic kernel_thread() implementationCatalin Marinas
This patch enables CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_THREAD on arm64, changes copy_threads to cope with kernel threads creation and adapts ret_from_fork accordingly. The arm64-specific kernel_thread implementation is no longer needed. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2012-09-17arm64: CPU supportCatalin Marinas
This patch adds AArch64 CPU specific functionality. It assumes that the implementation is generic to AArch64 and does not require specific identification. Different CPU implementations may require the setting of various ACTLR_EL1 bits but such information is not currently available and it should ideally be pushed to firmware.
