2015-01-21arm64: Do not initialise the fixmap page tables in head.SCatalin Marinas
The early_ioremap_init() function already handles fixmap pte initialisation, so upgrade this to cover all of pud/pmd/pte and remove one page from swapper_pg_dir.

2014-07-23arm64: place initial page tables above the kernelMark Rutland
Currently we place swapper_pg_dir and idmap_pg_dir below the kernel image, between PHYS_OFFSET and (PHYS_OFFSET + TEXT_OFFSET). However, bootloaders may use portions of this memory below the kernel and we do not parse the memory reservation list until after the MMU has been enabled. As such we may clobber some memory a bootloader wishes to have preserved. To enable the use of all of this memory by bootloaders (when the required memory reservations are communicated to the kernel) it is necessary to move our initial page tables elsewhere. As we currently have an effectively unbound requirement for memory at the end of the kernel image for .bss, we can place the page tables here. This patch moves the initial page table to the end of the kernel image, after the BSS. As they do not consist of any initialised data they will be stripped from the kernel Image as with the BSS. The BSS clearing routine is updated to stop at __bss_stop rather than _end so as to not clobber the page tables, and memory reservations made redundant by the new organisation are removed.

2012-09-17arm64: MMU fault handling and page table managementCatalin Marinas
This patch adds support for the handling of the MMU faults (exception entry code introduced by a previous patch) and page table management. The user translation table is pointed to by TTBR0 and the kernel one (swapper_pg_dir) by TTBR1. There is no translation information shared or address space overlapping between user and kernel page tables.
