* Docs: arm64: booting: clarify boot requirementsMark Rutland2013-10-241-14/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are a few points in the arm64 booting document which are unclear (such as the initial state of secondary CPUs), and/or have not been documented (PSCI is a supported mechanism for booting secondary CPUs). This patch amends the arm64 boot document to better express the (existing) requirements, and to describe PSCI as a supported booting mechanism.

* Documentation/arm64: clarify requirements for DTB placementMark Salter2013-09-051-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | The current description of DTB placement requirements does not quite match the kernel code in head.S: __vet_fdt and __create_page_tables. This patch tweaks the text to match the actual requirements placed on it by the code.

* arm64: Expand arm64 image headerRoy Franz2013-08-221-3/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Expand the arm64 image header to allow for co-existance with PE/COFF header required by the EFI stub. The PE/COFF format requires the "MZ" header to be at offset 0, and the offset to the PE/COFF header to be at offset 0x3c. The image header is expanded to allow 2 instructions at the beginning to accommodate a benign intruction at offset 0 that includes the "MZ" header, a magic number, and the offset to the PE/COFF header.

* arm64: Kernel booting and initialisationCatalin Marinas2012-09-171-0/+152
The patch adds the kernel booting and the initial setup code. Documentation/arm64/booting.txt describes the booting protocol on the AArch64 Linux kernel. This is subject to change following the work on boot standardisation, ACPI.
