Furquan Shaikh 9482498003 arm64: Add support for save/restore registers for CPU startup.
startup.c provides function to enable CPU in any stage to save register data
that can be used by secondary CPU (for normal boot) or any CPU (for resume
boot). stage_entry.S defines space for saving arm64_startup_data. This can be
filled by:
1) Primary CPU before bringing up secondary CPUs so that the secondary can use
register values to initialize MMU-related and other required registers to
appropriate values.
2) CPU suspend path to ensure that on resume the values which were saved are
restored appropriately.

stage_entry.S provides a common path for both normal and resume boot to
initialize saved registers. For resume path, it is important to set the
secondary entry point for startup since x26 needs to be 1 for enabling MMU and
cache.

This also ensures that we do not fall into false memory cache errors which
caused CPU to fail during normal / resume boot. Thus, we can get rid of the
stack cache invalidate for secondary CPUs.

BUG=chrome-os-partner:33962
BRANCH=None
TEST=Compiles and boots both CPU0 and CPU1 on ryu without mmu_enable and stack
cache invalidate for CPU1.

coreboot README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS
(firmware) found in most computers.  coreboot performs a little bit of
hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a
payload.

With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic,
coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly
firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom
bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or
UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary
in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space
required.

coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.


Payloads
--------

After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any
desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.

See http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.


Supported Hardware
------------------

coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

For details please consult:

 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards
 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices


Build Requirements
------------------

 * gcc / g++
 * make

Optional:

 * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
 * iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
 * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
 * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig')
 * flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)


Building coreboot
-----------------

Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.


Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware
------------------------------------------------

If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide
to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run
coreboot virtually in QEMU.

Please see http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.


Website and Mailing List
------------------------

Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development
guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website:
