Subject: arm64: Relax the kernel cache requirements for boot
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c218bca7;p=linux-beck.git

arm64: Relax the kernel cache requirements for boot

With system caches for the host OS or architected caches for guest OS we
cannot easily guarantee that there are no dirty or stale cache lines for
the areas of memory written by the kernel during boot with the MMU off
(therefore non-cacheable accesses).

This patch adds the necessary cache maintenance during boot and relaxes
the booting requirements.

 - Caches, MMUs
   The MMU must be off.
   Instruction cache may be on or off.
-  Data cache must be off and invalidated.
-  External caches (if present) must be configured and disabled.
+  The address range corresponding to the loaded kernel image must be

+  System caches which respect the architected cache maintenance by VA

+  System caches which do not respect architected cache maintenance by VA

 - Architected timers
