+Booting Linux/LoongArch
+=======================

+
+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 */

+启动 Linux/LoongArch

+
+BootLoader传递给内核的信息
+==========================
+
+LoongArch支持ACPI和FDT启动,需要传递给内核的信息包括memmap、initrd、cmdline、可
+选的ACPI/FDT表等。
+
+内核在 `kernel_entry` 入口处被传递以下参数:
+
+ - a0 = efi_boot: `efi_boot` 是一个标志,表示这个启动环境是否完全符合UEFI
+ 的要求。
+
+ - a1 = cmdline: `cmdline` 是一个指向内核命令行的指针。
+
+ - a2 = systemtable: `systemtable` 指向EFI的系统表,在这个阶段涉及的所有
+ 指针都是物理地址。
+
+Linux/LoongArch内核镜像文件头
+=============================
+
+内核镜像是EFI镜像。作为PE文件,它们有一个64字节的头部结构体,如下所示::
+
+ u32 MZ_MAGIC /* "MZ", MS-DOS 头 */
+ u32 res0 = 0 /* 保留 */
+ u64 kernel_entry /* 内核入口点 */
+ u64 _end - _text /* 内核镜像有效大小 */
+ u64 load_offset /* 加载内核镜像相对内存起始地址的偏移量 */
+ u64 res1 = 0 /* 保留 */
+ u64 res2 = 0 /* 保留 */
+ u64 res3 = 0 /* 保留 */
+ u32 LINUX_PE_MAGIC /* 魔术数 */
+ u32 pe_header - _head /* 到PE头的偏移量 */
