[PATCH 16/18] arm64: entry: Add fake CPU feature for mapping the kernel at EL0

Will Deacon will.deacon at arm.com
Fri Nov 17 10:21:59 PST 2017


Allow explicit disabling of the entry trampoline on the kernel command
line by adding a fake CPU feature (ARM64_MAP_KERNEL_AT_EL0) that can
be used to apply alternative sequences to our entry code and avoid use
of the trampoline altogether.
