[PATCH 14/16] arm64: drtm: Add drtm_entry point to head.S

Jason Gunthorpe jgg at nvidia.com
Thu Sep 24 06:53:17 PDT 2026


The DRTM launch defined by DEN0113 cannot use primary_entry because the
spec defines a different launch protocol. drtm_entry is a small trampoline
that validates the DRTM provided data matches the location expected from
the link layout, acquires the DTB through an EFI stub writable handoff
struct and then jumps to primary_entry.

Add arch/arm64/kernel/drtm.c, as later patches and series will need more
kernel side functions.

Passing the fdt address like this will require security hardening in
future series.
