[PATCH v1 06/27] arm64: Provide arm64 API for non-native architectures
From: Steffen Eiden
Date: Thu Apr 02 2026 - 00:34:51 EST
Enable the usage of arm64 asm headers independent of the CPU
architecture. Introduce a new directory, include/arch/arm64/asm to store
(host) architecture- agnostic headers for arm64 implementors.
The new path is added to the include patch of native arm64. Therefore,
arm64 will continue to reference to those headers via include
<asm/header.h> without any code change. This means that the header names
should be unique for arm64 asm headers. For native arm64, headers at the
new path take precedence over any other include path.
For other architectures to use the esr string names, move *esr_class_str
from traps.c to esr.h.
For a seamless integration non-native architectures must also include the
new path to the include path.
