Russell King 195864cf3d ARM: move CP15 definitions to separate header file
Avoid namespace conflicts with drivers over the CP15 definitions by
moving CP15 related prototypes and definitions to a private header
file.

Dave Martin 540b573875 ARM: 6999/1: head, zImage: Always Enter the kernel in ARM state
Currently, the documented kernel entry requirements are not
explicit about whether the kernel should be entered in ARM or
Thumb, leading to an ambiguitity about how to enter Thumb-2
kernels.  As a result, the kernel is reliant on the zImage
decompressor to enter the kernel proper in the correct instruction
set state.

This patch changes the boot entry protocol for head.S and Image to
be the same as for zImage: in all cases, the kernel is now entered
in ARM.

Documentation/arm/Booting is updated to reflect this new policy.

A different rule will be needed for Cortex-M class CPUs as and when
support for those lands in mainline, since these CPUs don't support
the ARM instruction set at all: a note is added to the effect that
the kernel must be entered in Thumb on such systems.

Russell King 6fc31d5444 ARM: Defer lookup of machine_type to setup.c
Since the debug macros no longer depend on the machine type information,
the machine type lookup can be deferred to setup_arch() in setup.c which
simplifies the code somewhat.

We also move the __error_a functionality into setup.c for displaying a
message when a bad machine ID is passed to the kernel via the LL debug
code.  We also log this into the kernel ring buffer which makes it
possible to retrieve the message via a debugger.

Original idea from Grant Likely.

Russell King f131a0800e ARM: no need for nommu to jump through the hoops that mmu does
nommu can jump directly to __mmap_switched without the absolute
address branching which the mmuful kernel does.

Tim Abbott 2abc1c50b6 ARM: convert to use __HEAD and HEAD_TEXT macros.
This has the consequence of changing the section name used for head
code from ".text.head" to ".head.text".  Since this commit changes all
users in the architecture, this change should be harmless.

The .text.head output section is eliminated and the head text code is
included at the start of the .init output section.

Russell King 08fdffd4cf [ARM] Ensure head text is always placed at the start of kernel
Commit 86c0baf123 highlighted that we
may end up with the head text placed elsewhere in the kernel image.
Introduce a new .text.head section to contain the initial kernel
startup code, and always place this section at the beginning of the
kernel image.

Hyok S. Choi 6afd6fae1d [ARM] nommu: confirms the CR_V bit in nommu mode
In nommu mode, the exception vector location depends on the platforms.
Some of the implementations may have some special exception control
forwarding method in their ROM/flash and for some of them has its own
re-mapping mechanism by the h/w.

This patch introduces a special configuration CONFIG_CPU_HIGH_VECTOR which
turns on the CR_V bit in nommu mode. The CR_V bit is turned off by default.
This feature depends on CP15 and does not supported by ARM740.

Hyok S. Choi f12d0d7c77 [ARM] nommu: manage the CP15 things
All the current CP15 access codes in ARM arch can be categorized and
conditioned by the defines as follows:

     Related operation	Safe condition
  a. any CP15 access	!CPU_CP15
  b. alignment trap	CPU_CP15_MMU
  c. D-cache(C-bit)	CPU_CP15
  d. I-cache		CPU_CP15 && !( CPU_ARM610 || CPU_ARM710 ||
				CPU_ARM720 || CPU_ARM740 ||
				CPU_XSCALE || CPU_XSC3 )
  e. alternate vector	CPU_CP15 && !CPU_ARM740
  f. TTB		CPU_CP15_MMU
  g. Domain		CPU_CP15_MMU
  h. FSR/FAR		CPU_CP15_MMU

For example, alternate vector is supported if and only if
"CPU_CP15 && !CPU_ARM740" is satisfied.
