[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 for-4.9 0/5] xen/arm: Properly map the FDT in the boot page table

[Julien Grall <julien.grall@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Whilst doing some testing on Juno using GRUB, I noticed random early crash
depending ([1]) on the binaries I was using.

This is because Xen is assuming that the FDT will always fit in a 2MB
superpage whilst the boot documentation allow the FDT to cross a 2MB boundary.

The first patch move the code that map the FDT in the boot page table from
assembly to C making easier to modify the code.

This series is candidate for Xen 4.9. Whilst this early boot rework sounds
scary, a user can see random early crash without this series. I chose
to move all the FDT mapping code in C right now because it is less error-prone
to write C code than assembly.

I have tested both ARM32 and ARM64 with different position of the FDT without
noticing any issue.

For all the changes see in each patches.

Cheers,
