arm64/relocate_kernel: remove redundant code
Kernel startup entry point requires disabling MMU and D-cache. As for kexec-reboot, taking a close look at "msr sctlr_el1, x12" in __cpu_soft_restart as the following: -1. booted at EL1 The instruction is enough to disable MMU and I/D cache for EL1 regime. -2. booted at EL2, using VHE Access to SCTLR_EL1 is redirected to SCTLR_EL2 in EL2. So the instruction is enough to disable MMU and clear I+C bits for EL2 regime. -3. booted at EL2, not using VHE The instruction itself can not affect EL2 regime. But The hyp-stub doesn't enable the MMU and I/D cache for EL2 regime. And KVM also disable them for EL2 regime when its unloaded, or execute a HVC_SOFT_RESTART call. So when kexec-reboot, the code in KVM has prepare the requirement. As a conclusion, disabling MMU and clearing I+C bits in SYM_CODE_START(arm64_relocate_new_kernel) is redundant, and can be removed Signed-off-by: Pingfan Liu <[email protected]> Cc: James Morse <[email protected]> Cc: Geoff Levand <[email protected]> Cc: Catalin Marinas <[email protected]> Cc: Will Deacon <[email protected]> Cc: Mark Rutland <[email protected]> Cc: Marc Zyngier <[email protected]> Cc: Mark Brown <[email protected]> Cc: Kees Cook <[email protected]> Cc: Remi Denis-Courmont <[email protected]> Cc: Ard Biesheuvel <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected] To: [email protected] Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <[email protected]>
