arm64: Add support for the architecture

This changeset adds basic support to run HelenOS on AArch64, targeting
the QEMU virt platform.

Boot:

  • Boot relies on the EDK II firmware, GRUB2 for EFI and the HelenOS bootloader (UEFI application). EDK II loads GRUB2 from a CD, GRUB2 loads the HelenOS bootloader (via UEFI) which loads OS components.
  • UEFI applications use the PE/COFF format and must be relocatable. The first problem is solved by manually having the PE/COFF headers and tables written in assembler. The relocatable requirement is addressed by compiling the code with -fpic and having the bootloader relocate itself at its startup.

Kernel:

  • Kernel code for AArch64 consists mostly of stubbing out various architecture-specific hooks: virtual memory management, interrupt and exception handling, context switching (including FPU lazy switching), support for virtual timer, atomic sequences and barriers, cache and TLB maintenance, thread and process initialization.
  • The patch adds a kernel driver for GICv2 (interrupt controller).
  • The PL011 kernel driver is extended to allow userspace to take ownership of the console.
  • The current code is not able to dynamically obtain information about available devices on the underlying machine. The port instead implements a machine-func interface similar to the one implemented by arm32. It defines a machine for the QEMU AArch64 virt platform. The configuration (device addresses and IRQ numbers) is then baked into the machine definition.

User space:

  • Uspace code for AArch64 similarly mostly implements architecture-specific hooks: context saving/restoring, syscall support, TLS support.

The patchset allows to boot the system but user interaction with the OS
is not yet possible.
  • Property mode set to 100644
