| * arm64: mm: update CONTEXTIDR register to contain PID of current processWill Deacon2013-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is a port of 575320d62 ("ARM: 7445/1: mm: update CONTEXTIDR register to contain PID of current process") from ARM that introduces a new Kconfig option which, when enabled, causes the kernel to write the PID of the current task into the CONTEXTIDR register on context switch. This is useful when analysing hardware trace, since writes to this register can be configured to emit an event into the trace stream.

* | ARM64 idle: delete pm_idleLen Brown2013-02-17

| * arm64: elf: fix core dumping definitions for GP and FP registersWill Deacon2012-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | struct user_fp does not exist for arm64, so use struct user_fpsimd_state instead for the ELF core dumping definitions. Furthermore, since we use regset-based core dumping, we do not need definitions for dump_task_regs and dump_fpu.

* | arm64: Use generic kernel_thread() implementationCatalin Marinas2012-10-17
|/ | | | | | | | | This patch enables CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_THREAD on arm64, changes copy_threads to cope with kernel threads creation and adapts ret_from_fork accordingly. The arm64-specific kernel_thread implementation is no longer needed. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
* arm64: Process managementCatalin Marinas2012-09-17
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).
