+:Author: Yanteng Si <siyanteng@loongson.cn>
+:Date: 18 Nov 2022
+
+Information passed from BootLoader to kernel
+============================================
+
+LoongArch supports ACPI and FDT. The information that needs to be passed
+to the kernel includes the memmap, the initrd, the command line, optionally
+the ACPI/FDT tables, and so on.
+
+The kernel is passed the following arguments on `kernel_entry` :
+
+ - a0 = efi_boot: `efi_boot` is a flag indicating whether
+ this boot environment is fully UEFI-compliant.
+
+ - a1 = cmdline: `cmdline` is a pointer to the kernel command line.
+
+ - a2 = systemtable: `systemtable` points to the EFI system table.
+ All pointers involved at this stage are in physical addresses.
+
+Header of Linux/LoongArch kernel images
+=======================================
+
+Linux/LoongArch kernel images are EFI images. Being PE files, they have
+a 64-byte header structured like::
+
+ u32 MZ_MAGIC /* "MZ", MS-DOS header */
+ u32 res0 = 0 /* Reserved */
+ u64 kernel_entry /* Kernel entry point */
+ u64 _end - _text /* Kernel image effective size */
+ u64 load_offset /* Kernel image load offset from start of RAM */
+ u64 res1 = 0 /* Reserved */
+ u64 res2 = 0 /* Reserved */
+ u64 res3 = 0 /* Reserved */
+ u32 LINUX_PE_MAGIC /* Magic number */
+ u32 pe_header - _head /* Offset to the PE header */

+=========================
+Introduction to LoongArch
+=========================
+
+LoongArch is a new RISC ISA, which is a bit like MIPS or RISC-V. There are
+currently 3 variants: a reduced 32-bit version (LA32R), a standard 32-bit
+version (LA32S) and a 64-bit version (LA64). There are 4 privilege levels
+(PLVs) defined in LoongArch: PLV0~PLV3, from high to low. Kernel runs at PLV0
+while applications run at PLV3. This document introduces the registers, basic
+instruction set, virtual memory and some other topics of LoongArch.
+
+Registers
+=========
+
+LoongArch registers include general purpose registers (GPRs), floating point
+registers (FPRs), vector registers (VRs) and control status registers (CSRs)
+used in privileged mode (PLV0).
+
+GPRs
+----
+
+LoongArch has 32 GPRs ( ``$r0`` ~ ``$r31`` ); each one is 32-bit wide in LA32
+and 64-bit wide in LA64. ``$r0`` is hard-wired to zero, and the other registers
+are not architecturally special. (Except ``$r1``, which is hard-wired as the
+link register of the BL instruction.)
+
+The kernel uses a variant of the LoongArch register convention, as described in
+the LoongArch ELF psABI spec, in :ref:`References <loongarch-references>`:
+
+================= =============== =================== ============
+Name Alias Usage Preserved
+ across calls
+================= =============== =================== ============
+``$r0`` ``$zero`` Constant zero Unused
+``$r1`` ``$ra`` Return address No
+``$r2`` ``$tp`` TLS/Thread pointer Unused
+``$r3`` ``$sp`` Stack pointer Yes
+``$r4``-``$r11`` ``$a0``-``$a7`` Argument registers No
+``$r4``-``$r5`` ``$v0``-``$v1`` Return value No
+``$r12``-``$r20`` ``$t0``-``$t8`` Temp registers No
+``$r21`` ``$u0`` Percpu base address Unused
+``$r22`` ``$fp`` Frame pointer Yes
+``$r23``-``$r31`` ``$s0``-``$s8`` Static registers Yes
+================= =============== =================== ============
+
+.. Note::
+ The register ``$r21`` is reserved in the ELF psABI, but used by the Linux
+ kernel for storing the percpu base address. It normally has no ABI name,
+ but is called ``$u0`` in the kernel. You may also see ``$v0`` or ``$v1``
+ in some old code,however they are deprecated aliases of ``$a0`` and ``$a1``
+ respectively.
+
+FPRs
+----
+
+LoongArch has 32 FPRs ( ``$f0`` ~ ``$f31`` ) when FPU is present. Each one is
+64-bit wide on the LA64 cores.
+
+The floating-point register convention is the same as described in the
+LoongArch ELF psABI spec:
+
+================= ================== =================== ============
+Name Alias Usage Preserved
+ across calls
+================= ================== =================== ============
+``$f0``-``$f7`` ``$fa0``-``$fa7`` Argument registers No
+``$f0``-``$f1`` ``$fv0``-``$fv1`` Return value No
+``$f8``-``$f23`` ``$ft0``-``$ft15`` Temp registers No
+``$f24``-``$f31`` ``$fs0``-``$fs7`` Static registers Yes
+================= ================== =================== ============
+
+.. Note::
+ You may see ``$fv0`` or ``$fv1`` in some old code, however they are
+ deprecated aliases of ``$fa0`` and ``$fa1`` respectively.
+
+VRs
+----
+
+There are currently 2 vector extensions to LoongArch:
+
+- LSX (Loongson SIMD eXtension) with 128-bit vectors,
+- LASX (Loongson Advanced SIMD eXtension) with 256-bit vectors.
+
+LSX brings ``$v0`` ~ ``$v31`` while LASX brings ``$x0`` ~ ``$x31`` as the vector
+registers.
+
+The VRs overlap with FPRs: for example, on a core implementing LSX and LASX,
+the lower 128 bits of ``$x0`` is shared with ``$v0``, and the lower 64 bits of
+``$v0`` is shared with ``$f0``; same with all other VRs.
+
+CSRs
+----
+
+CSRs can only be accessed from privileged mode (PLV0):

+
+Virtual Memory
+==============
+
+LoongArch supports direct-mapped virtual memory and page-mapped virtual memory.
+
+Direct-mapped virtual memory is configured by CSR.DMWn (n=0~3), it has a simple
+relationship between virtual address (VA) and physical address (PA)::
+
+ VA = PA + FixedOffset
+
+Page-mapped virtual memory has arbitrary relationship between VA and PA, which
+is recorded in TLB and page tables. LoongArch's TLB includes a fully-associative
+MTLB (Multiple Page Size TLB) and set-associative STLB (Single Page Size TLB).
+
+By default, the whole virtual address space of LA32 is configured like this:
+
+============ =========================== =============================
+Name Address Range Attributes
+============ =========================== =============================
+``UVRANGE`` ``0x00000000 - 0x7FFFFFFF`` Page-mapped, Cached, PLV0~3
+``KPRANGE0`` ``0x80000000 - 0x9FFFFFFF`` Direct-mapped, Uncached, PLV0
+``KPRANGE1`` ``0xA0000000 - 0xBFFFFFFF`` Direct-mapped, Cached, PLV0
+``KVRANGE`` ``0xC0000000 - 0xFFFFFFFF`` Page-mapped, Cached, PLV0
+============ =========================== =============================
+
+User mode (PLV3) can only access UVRANGE. For direct-mapped KPRANGE0 and
+KPRANGE1, PA is equal to VA with bit30~31 cleared. For example, the uncached
+direct-mapped VA of 0x00001000 is 0x80001000, and the cached direct-mapped
+VA of 0x00001000 is 0xA0001000.
+
+By default, the whole virtual address space of LA64 is configured like this:
+
+============ ====================== ======================================
+Name Address Range Attributes
+============ ====================== ======================================
+``XUVRANGE`` ``0x0000000000000000 - Page-mapped, Cached, PLV0~3
+ 0x3FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF``
+``XSPRANGE`` ``0x4000000000000000 - Direct-mapped, Cached / Uncached, PLV0
+ 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF``
+``XKPRANGE`` ``0x8000000000000000 - Direct-mapped, Cached / Uncached, PLV0
+ 0xBFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF``
+``XKVRANGE`` ``0xC000000000000000 - Page-mapped, Cached, PLV0
+ 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF``
+============ ====================== ======================================
+
+User mode (PLV3) can only access XUVRANGE. For direct-mapped XSPRANGE and
+XKPRANGE, PA is equal to VA with bits 60~63 cleared, and the cache attribute
+is configured by bits 60~61 in VA: 0 is for strongly-ordered uncached, 1 is
+for coherent cached, and 2 is for weakly-ordered uncached.
+
+Currently we only use XKPRANGE for direct mapping and XSPRANGE is reserved.
+
+To put this in action: the strongly-ordered uncached direct-mapped VA (in
+XKPRANGE) of 0x00000000_00001000 is 0x80000000_00001000, the coherent cached
+direct-mapped VA (in XKPRANGE) of 0x00000000_00001000 is 0x90000000_00001000,
+and the weakly-ordered uncached direct-mapped VA (in XKPRANGE) of 0x00000000
+_00001000 is 0xA0000000_00001000.
+
+Relationship of Loongson and LoongArch
+======================================
+
+LoongArch is a RISC ISA which is different from any other existing ones, while
+Loongson is a family of processors. Loongson includes 3 series: Loongson-1 is
+the 32-bit processor series, Loongson-2 is the low-end 64-bit processor series,
+and Loongson-3 is the high-end 64-bit processor series. Old Loongson is based on
+MIPS, while New Loongson is based on LoongArch. Take Loongson-3 as an example:
+Loongson-3A1000/3B1500/3A2000/3A3000/3A4000 are MIPS-compatible, while Loongson-
+3A5000 (and future revisions) are all based on LoongArch.

+IRQ chip model (hierarchy) of LoongArch
+=======================================
+
+Currently, LoongArch based processors (e.g. Loongson-3A5000) can only work together
+with LS7A chipsets. The irq chips in LoongArch computers include CPUINTC (CPU Core
+Interrupt Controller), LIOINTC (Legacy I/O Interrupt Controller), EIOINTC (Extended
+I/O Interrupt Controller), HTVECINTC (Hyper-Transport Vector Interrupt Controller),
+PCH-PIC (Main Interrupt Controller in LS7A chipset), PCH-LPC (LPC Interrupt Controller
+in LS7A chipset) and PCH-MSI (MSI Interrupt Controller).
+
+CPUINTC is a per-core controller (in CPU), LIOINTC/EIOINTC/HTVECINTC are per-package
+controllers (in CPU), while PCH-PIC/PCH-LPC/PCH-MSI are controllers out of CPU (i.e.,
+in chipsets). These controllers (in other words, irqchips) are linked in a hierarchy,
+and there are two models of hierarchy (legacy model and extended model).
+
+Legacy IRQ model
+================
+
+In this model, IPI (Inter-Processor Interrupt) and CPU Local Timer interrupt go
+to CPUINTC directly, CPU UARTS interrupts go to LIOINTC, while all other devices
+interrupts go to PCH-PIC/PCH-LPC/PCH-MSI and gathered by HTVECINTC, and then go
+to LIOINTC, and then CPUINTC::
