tashaboot: arm64 bootloader
A small arm64 bootloader. No board code, no device tree porting, the architecture manual is the whole story: exception vectors in the fixed 16 slot layout (Table D1-7), ESR_ELx decoded by exception class (D1-2172), EL entry and eret chains per the programmers model (D1-2146), cache maintenance by set/way over the CLIDR_EL1 levels, semihosting for console and file io per DUI 0203, and the A64 boot protocol from Documentation/arch/arm64/booting.rst. The loader boots a stock mainline Image end to end on the qemu virt machine. Boot receipt with 7.3-rc3 (42MB Image): tashaboot 0.1 loaded 43450368 bytes at 40200000, entry 40200000 jumping [ 0.000000] Booting Linux on physical CPU 0x0000000000 [0x411fd070] [ 0.000000] Linux version 7.3.0-rc3 [ 0.000000] Machine model: linux,dummy-virt [ 0.000000] earlycon: pl11 MMIO32:0x0000000009000000 ... ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs ]--- The panic is the expected end state, no root filesystem is handed over yet.

Cache maintenance was called after the register setup, x0-x18 are caller saved, so tb_flush_dcache_all() wiped the dtb pointer and the kernel spun in setup_machine_fdt() with an invalid device tree blob. The flush helpers also clobbered x1 (u-boot's void call convention left mov x1, x0 in cache.S) which handed the kernel a wild x0. The arguments ride in x20/x21 across the cache calls now, callee saved, and the register setup is the last thing before the branch. What is missing on purpose: no SMP bringup (secondary cores park), no PSCI, no initrd or root filesystem handoff, single serial console. Those come next.
