···
 本文档基于 Russell King 的 ARM 启动文档，且适用于所有公开发布的
 AArch64 Linux 内核代码。

-异常级有对应的安全和非安全模式。EL2 是系统管理级，且仅存在于

 基于本文档的目的，我们将简单地使用‘引导装载程序’（‘boot loader’）
 这个术语来定义在将控制权交给 Linux 内核前 CPU 上执行的所有软件。
···
 必要性: 强制
 
 引导装载程序应该找到并初始化系统中所有内核用于保持系统变量数据的 RAM。
-这个操作的执行是设备依赖的。（它可能使用内部算法来自动定位和计算所有

 2、设置设备树数据
···
 
 必要性: 强制
 
-设备树数据块（dtb）必须 8 字节对齐，并位于从内核映像起始算起第一个 512MB
-内，且不得跨越 2MB 对齐边界。这使得内核可以通过初始页表中的单个节描述符来
-映射此数据块。

+注： v4.2 之前的版本同时要求设备树数据块被置于从内核映像以下
+text_offset 字节处算起第一个 512MB 内。
 
 3、解压内核映像
 -------------
···
 
 AArch64 内核当前没有提供自解压代码，因此如果使用了压缩内核映像文件
 （比如 Image.gz），则需要通过引导装载程序（使用 gzip 等）来进行解压。

+                芯片勘误和软件补救措施
+                ==================
+
+作者: Will Deacon <[e-mail]>
+日期: 2015年11月27日
+
+一个不幸的现实：硬件经常带有一些所谓的“瑕疵（errata）”，导致其在
+某些特定情况下会违背构架定义的行为。就基于 ARM 的硬件而言，这些瑕疵
+大体可分为以下几类：
+
+  A 类：无可行补救措施的严重缺陷。
+  B 类：有可接受的补救措施的重大或严重缺陷。
+  C 类：在正常操作中不会显现的小瑕疵。
+
+更多资讯，请在 infocenter.arm.com （需注册）中查阅“软件开发者勘误
+笔记”（“Software Developers Errata Notice”）文档。
+
+对于 Linux 而言，B 类缺陷可能需要操作系统的某些特别处理。例如，避免
+一个特殊的代码序列，或是以一种特定的方式配置处理器。在某种不太常见的
+情况下，为将 A 类缺陷当作 C 类处理，可能需要用类似的手段。这些手段被
+统称为“软件补救措施”，且仅在少数情况需要（例如，那些需要一个运行在
+非安全异常级的补救措施 *并且* 能被 Linux 触发的情况）。
+
+对于尚在讨论中的可能对未受瑕疵影响的系统产生干扰的软件补救措施，有一个
+相应的内核配置（Kconfig）选项被加在 “内核特性（Kernel Features）”->
+“基于可选方法框架的 ARM 瑕疵补救措施（ARM errata workarounds via
+the alternatives framework）"。这些选项被默认开启，若探测到受影响的CPU，
+补丁将在运行时被使用。至于对系统运行影响较小的补救措施，内核配置选项
+并不存在，且代码以某种规避瑕疵的方式被构造（带注释为宜）。
+
+这种做法对于在任意内核源代码树中准确地判断出哪个瑕疵已被软件方法所补救

 INSTALLING the kernel source:

    When compiling the kernel, all output files will per default be
    stored together with the kernel source code.

    Normally, the kernel build system runs in a fairly quiet mode (but not
    totally silent).  However, sometimes you or other kernel developers need
    to see compile, link, or other commands exactly as they are executed.
-   For this, use "verbose" build mode.  This is done by inserting
-   "V=1" in the "make" command.  E.g.:
