<content type='text'>
commit 8428e84d42179c2a00f5f6450866e70d802d1d05 upstream.

Recent gcc versions generate unaligned accesses by default on ARMv6 and
later processors. This patch ensures that the SCTLR.A bit is always
cleared on such processors to avoid kernel traping before
alignment_init() is called.

<title>ARM: 6999/1: head, zImage: Always Enter the kernel in ARM state</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

<title>arm/dt: Make __vet_atags also accept a dtb image</title>

<id>4c2896e88d976d0e5b2213c64cde885f5677fa2b</id>
<content type='text'>
The dtb is passed to the kernel via register r2, which is the same
method that is used to pass an atags pointer.  This patch modifies
__vet_atags to not clear r2 when it encounters a dtb image.

v2: fixed bugs pointed out by Nicolas Pitre

Adding Thumb2 support to the runtime patching of the virt_to_phys and
phys_to_virt opcodes.

Tested both the 8-bit and the 16-bit fixups, using different placements
in memory to exercize all code paths.

<title>ARM: 6648/1: map ATAGs when not in first 1MB of RAM</title>

If ATAGs or DTB pointer is not within first 1MB of RAM, then the boot params
will not be mapped early enough, so map the 1MB region that r2 points to. Only
map the first 1MB when r2 is 0.

Some assembly improvements from Nicolas Pitre.

MSM's memory is aligned to 2MB, which is more than we can do with our
existing method as we're limited to the upper 8 bits.  Extend this by
using two instructions to 16 bits, automatically selected when MSM is
enabled.
