2013-05-13arm64: Fix duplicate definition of early_consoleChen Gang
When compiling with allmodconfig. early_console is already defined as an extern global pointer. Need let it point to the object which we intend to (like arm32 done).

2013-03-20arm64: add support for 8250/16550 earlyprintkAnup Patel
This patch adds support for using earlyprintk with 8250/16550 UART ports. The 8250/16550 UART can either have 8-bit or 32-bit aligned registers which is HW vendor dependent. Kernel args for 8-bit aligned regs: earlyprintk=uart8250-8bit,<phys_address> Kernel args for 32-bit aligned regs: earlyprintk=uart8250-32bit,<phys_address> Signed-off-by: Anup Patel <anup.patel@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2013-03-20arm64: early_printk: add support for FastModel console outputMarc Zyngier
Enable early_printk to use the FastModel semihosting to output the early kernel messages. Works both for host and guest kernels. To use this feature, pass "early_printk=smh" to the kernel. Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2013-01-22arm64: Add simple earlyprintk supportCatalin Marinas
This patch adds support for "earlyprintk=" parameter on the kernel command line. The format is: earlyprintk=<name>[,<addr>][,<options>] where <name> is the name of the (UART) device, e.g. "pl011", <addr> is the I/O address. The <options> aren't currently used. The mapping of the earlyprintk device is done very early during kernel boot and there are restrictions on which functions it can call. A special early_io_map() function is added which creates the mapping from the pre-defined EARLY_IOBASE to the device I/O address passed via the kernel parameter. The pgd entry corresponding to EARLY_IOBASE is pre-populated in head.S during kernel boot. Only PL011 is currently supported and it is assumed that the interface is already initialised by the boot loader before the kernel is started.
