Merge tag 'm1-soc-bringup-v5' of https://github.com/AsahiLinux/linux into arm/apple-m1
Apple M1 SoC platform bring-up This series brings up initial support for the Apple M1 SoC, used in the 2020 Mac Mini, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air models. The following features are supported in this initial port: - UART (samsung-style) with earlycon support - Interrupts, including affinity and IPIs (Apple Interrupt Controller) - SMP (through standard spin-table support) - simplefb-based framebuffer - Devicetree for the Mac Mini (should work for the others too at this stage) == Merge notes == This tag is based on v5.12-rc3 and includes the following two dependencies merged in: * Tip of arm64/for-next/fiq: 3889ba70 This is a hard (build) dependency that adds support for FIQ interrupts, which is required for this SoC and the included AIC irqchip driver. It is already merged in the arm64 tree. * From tty/tty-next: 71b25f4d This commit includes the Samsung UART changes that have already been merged into the tty tree. It is nominally a soft dependency, but if this series is merged first it would trigger devicetree validation failures as the DT included in it depends on bindings introduced in the tty tree. There was a merge conflict here. It has been resolved the same way gregkh resolved it in a later tty merge, and both tty-next and torvalds/master merge cleanly with this series at this time. This series additionally depends on the nVHE changes in [1] to boot, but we are letting those get merged through arm64. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20210408131010.1109027-1-maz@kernel.org/T/#u == Testing notes == This has been tested on an Apple M1 Mac Mini booting to a framebuffer and serial console, with SMP and KASLR, with an arm64 defconfig (+ CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE for the fb). In addition, the AIC driver now supports running in EL1, tested in UP mode only. == About the hardware == These machines officially support booting unsigned/user-provided XNU-like kernels, with a very different boot protocol and devicetree format. We are developing an initial bootloader, m1n1 [1], to take care of as many hardware peculiarities as possible and present a standard Linux arm64 boot protocol and device tree. In the future, I expect that production setups will add U-Boot and perhaps GRUB into the boot chain, to make the boot process similar to other ARM64 platforms. The machines expose their debug UART over USB Type C, triggered with vendor-specific USB-PD commands. Currently, the easiest way to get a serial console on these machines is to use a second M1 box and a simple USB C cable [2]. You can also build a DIY interface using an Arduino, a FUSB302 chip or board, and a 1.2V UART-TTL adapter [3]. In the coming weeks we will be designing an open hardware project to provide serial/debug connectivity to these machines (and, hopefully, also support other UART-over-Type C setups from other vendors). Please contact me privately if you are interested in getting an early prototype version of one of these devices. We also have WIP/not merged yet support for loading kernels and interacting via dwc3 usb-gadget, which works with a standard C-C or C-A cable and any Linux host. A quickstart guide to booting Linux kernels on these machines is available at [4], and we are documenting the hardware at [5].
