	When we first created the arm64 port, we weren't quite sure whether coreboot would always run in EL3 on all platforms. The AArch64 A.R.M. technically considers this exception level optional, but in practice all SoCs seem to support it. We have since accumulated a lot of code that already hardcodes an implicit or explicit assumption of executing in EL3 somewhere, so coreboot wouldn't work on a system that tries to enter it in EL1/2 right now anyway. However, some of our low level support libraries (in particular those for accessing architectural registers) still have provisions for running at different exception levels built-in, and often use switch statements over the current exception level to decide which register to access. This includes an unnecessarily large amount of code for what should be single-instruction operations and precludes further optimization via inlining. This patch removes any remaining code that dynamically depends on the current exception level and makes the assumption that coreboot executes at EL3 official. If this ever needs to change for a future platform, it would probably be cleaner to set the expected exception level in a Kconfig rather than always probing it at runtime.

2015-10-31	tree: drop last paragraph of GPL copyright header	Patrick Georgi
	It encourages users from writing to the FSF without giving an address. Linux also prefers to drop that and their checkpatch.pl (that we imported) looks out for that. This is the result of util/scripts/no-fsf-addresses.sh with no further editing.

2015-05-21	Remove address from GPLv2 headers	Patrick Georgi
	As per discussion with lawyers[tm], it's not a good idea to shorten the license header too much - not for legal reasons but because there are tools that look for them, and giving them a standard pattern simplifies things. However, we got confirmation that we don't have to update every file ever added to coreboot whenever the FSF gets a new lease, but can drop the address instead. util/kconfig is excluded because that's imported code that we may want to synchronize every now and then. $ find * -type f -exec sed -i "s:Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA[, ]02110-1301[, ]USA:Foundation, Inc.:" {} + $ find -type f -exec sed -i "s:Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Suite 500, Boston, MA 02110-1335, USA:Foundation, Inc.:" {} + $ find * -type f -exec sed -i "s:Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place[-, ]Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307[, ]USA:Foundation, Inc.:" {} + $ find -type f -exec sed -i "s:Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.:Foundation, Inc.:" {} + $ find * -type f -a \! -name \.patch \ -a \! -name \_shipped \ -a \! -name LICENSE_GPL \ -a \! -name LGPL.txt \ -a \! -name COPYING \ -a \! -name DISCLAIMER \ -exec sed -i "/Foundation, Inc./ N;s:Foundation, Inc.* USA\.* *:Foundation, Inc. :;s:Foundation, Inc. $:Foundation, Inc.:" {} + Change-Id: Icc968a5a5f3a5df8d32b940f9cdb35350654bef9 Signed-off-by: Patrick Georgi <pgeorgi@chromium.org> Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/9233 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) Reviewed-by: Vladimir Serbinenko <phcoder@gmail.com>
