This is the 2nd version of the set of patches implementing Linux kernel
support for the 64-bit ARM architecture (AArch64). Thanks to all who
provided feedback on the previous version.
The Linux kernel patches are available on this tree:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmarinas/linux-aarch64.git upstream
The "master" branch in the above repository tracks the development
history.
Main changes from the previous version (for the full log see the
"master" branch above):
- Kernel port directory and related functions renamed to "arm64".
"uname -m" reports "aarch64" as per the official name.
- NO_BOOTMEM enabled.
- "mem=" is now used for limiting the amount of memory rather than
specifying the memory banks (already done via FDT).
- struct mem_type removed as static definitions are enough for
ioremap().
- Support for ZONE_DMA32.
- Replaced "user_debug" with "/proc/sys/debug/exception-trace".
- Added a generic defconfig file.
- More clean-up (comments, code) and bug-fixes.
The generic patches were dropped from this series as they have been pushed
separately (and most of them already merged into mainline).
Background to the 64-bit ARM architecture:
ARM introduced AArch64 as part of the ARMv8 architecture and consists of
a substantially revised exception model (with 4 exception levels: EL0 -
user, EL1 - kernel, EL2 - hypervisor, EL3 - secure monitor), new A64
instruction set based on larger register file, new FP/SIMD instructions.
The new ABI is LP64 and takes advantage of the larger register file. It
also mandates FP.
AArch64 documentation currently available (publicly, though
click-through agreement required):
- Instruction Set Overview:

- ABI (PCS, ELF, DWARF, C++):
