2015-07-27arm64: force CONFIG_SMP=y and remove redundant #ifdefsWill Deacon
Nobody seems to be producing !SMP systems anymore, so this is just becoming a source of kernel bugs, particularly if people want to use coherent DMA with non-shared pages. This patch forces CONFIG_SMP=y for arm64, removing a modest amount of code in the process. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
2015-06-12arm64: Do not attempt to use init_mm in reset_context()Catalin Marinas
After secondary CPU boot or hotplug, the active_mm of the idle thread is &init_mm. The init_mm.pgd (swapper_pg_dir) is only meant for TTBR1_EL1 and must not be set in TTBR0_EL1. Since when active_mm == &init_mm the TTBR0_EL1 is already set to the reserved value, there is no need to perform any context reset.

2012-09-17arm64: Process managementCatalin Marinas
The patch adds support for thread creation and context switching. The context switching CPU specific code is introduced with the CPU support patch (part of the arch/arm64/mm/proc.S file). AArch64 supports ASID-tagged TLBs and the ASID can be either 8 or 16-bit wide (detectable via the ID_AA64AFR0_EL1 register).
