It looks like the static mapping area for DMA was replaced by dynamic
allocation into the vmalloc area by commit e9da6e9905e6 but the
information in Documentation/arm/memory.txt was not removed accordingly.

CONSISTENT_END in arch/arm/include/asm/memory.h has no more users and
can be removed as well.

<title>ARM: Better virt_to_page() handling</title>

<content type='text'>
virt_to_page() is incredibly inefficient when virt-to-phys patching is
enabled.  This is because we end up with this calculation:

  page = &amp;mem_map[asm virt_to_phys(addr) &gt;&gt; 12 - __pv_phys_offset &gt;&gt; 12]

in assembly.  The asm virt_to_phys() is equivalent this this operation:

  addr - PAGE_OFFSET + __pv_phys_offset

and we can see that because this is assembly, the compiler has no chance
to optimise some of that away.  This should reduce down to:

  page = &amp;mem_map[(addr - PAGE_OFFSET) &gt;&gt; 12]

for the common cases.  Permit the compiler to make this optimisation by
giving it more of the information it needs - do this by providing a
virt_to_pfn() macro.

Another issue which makes this more complex is that __pv_phys_offset is
a 64-bit type on all platforms.  This is needlessly wasteful - if we
store the physical offset as a PFN, we can save a lot of work having
to deal with 64-bit values, which sometimes ends up producing incredibly
horrid code:

     a4c:       e3009000        movw    r9, #0
                        a4c: R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC  __pv_phys_offset
     a50:       e3409000        movt    r9, #0          ; r9 = &amp;__pv_phys_offset
                        a50: R_ARM_MOVT_ABS     __pv_phys_offset

With noMMU, CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET was not being set correctly.  As there's
no MMU, PAGE_OFFSET should be equal to PHYS_OFFSET in all cases.  This
commit makes that explicit.

Since we do this, we don't need to mess around in asm/memory.h with
ifdefs to sort this out, so let's get rid of that, and there's no point
offering the "Memory split" option for noMMU as that's meaningless
there.

The definition of virt_addr_valid is that virt_addr_valid should
return true if and only if virt_to_page returns a valid pointer.
The current definition of virt_addr_valid only checks against the
virtual address range. There's no guarantee that just because a
virtual address falls bewteen PAGE_OFFSET and high_memory the
associated physical memory has a valid backing struct page. Follow
the example of other architectures and convert to pfn_valid to
verify that the virtual address is actually valid. The check for
an address between PAGE_OFFSET and high_memory is still necessary
as vmalloc/highmem addresses are not valid with virt_to_page.

Make sure that inline assembler that expects 'r' operand
receives 32 bit value.

Before this fix in case of CONFIG_ARCH_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT and
CONFIG_ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT __phys_to_virt function passed 64 bit
value to __pv_stub inline assembler where 'r' operand is
expected. Compiler behavior in such case is not well specified.
It worked in little endian case, but in big endian case
incorrect code was generated, where compiler confused which
part of 64 bit value it needed to modify. For example BE
snippet looked like this:

N:0x80904E08 : MOV      r2,#0
N:0x80904E0C : SUB      r2,r2,#0x81000000

when LE similar code looked like this

N:0x808FCE2C : MOV      r2,r0
N:0x808FCE30 : SUB      r2,r2,#0xc0, 8 ; #0xc0000000

Note 'r0' register is va that have to be translated into phys

To avoid this situation use explicit cast to 'unsigned long',
which explicitly discard upper part of phys address and convert
value to 32 bit. Also add comment so such cast will not be
removed in the future.

The current phys_to_virt patching mechanism works only for 32 bit
physical addresses and this patch extends the idea for 64bit physical
addresses.

The 64bit v2p patching mechanism patches the higher 8 bits of physical
address with a constant using 'mov' instruction and lower 32bits are patched
using 'add'. While this is correct, in those platforms where the lowmem addressable
physical memory spawns across 4GB boundary, a carry bit can be produced as a
result of addition of lower 32bits. This has to be taken in to account and added
in to the upper. The patched __pv_offset and va are added in lower 32bits, where
__pv_offset can be in two's complement form when PA_START &lt; VA_START and that can
result in a false carry bit.

e.g
    1) PA = 0x80000000; VA = 0xC0000000
       __pv_offset = PA - VA = 0xC0000000 (2's complement)

    2) PA = 0x2 80000000; VA = 0xC000000
       __pv_offset = PA - VA = 0x1 C0000000

So adding __pv_offset + VA should never result in a true overflow for (1).
So in order to differentiate between a true carry, a __pv_offset is extended
to 64bit and the upper 32bits will have 0xffffffff if __pv_offset is
2's complement. So 'mvn #0' is inserted instead of 'mov' while patching
for the same reason. Since mov, add, sub instruction are to patched
with different constants inside the same stub, the rotation field
of the opcode is using to differentiate between them.

So the above examples for v2p translation becomes for VA=0xC0000000,
    1) PA[63:32] = 0xffffffff
       PA[31:0] = VA + 0xC0000000 --&gt; results in a carry
       PA[63:32] = PA[63:32] + carry

       PA[63:0] = 0x0 80000000

    2) PA[63:32] = 0x1
       PA[31:0] = VA + 0xC0000000 --&gt; results in a carry
       PA[63:32] = PA[63:32] + carry

       PA[63:0] = 0x2 80000000

The above ideas were suggested by Nicolas Pitre &lt;nico@linaro.org&gt; as
part of the review of first and second versions of the subject patch.

There is no corresponding change on the phys_to_virt() side, because
computations on the upper 32-bits would be discarded anyway.

The current phys_to_virt patching mechanism works only for 32 bit
physical addresses and this patch extends the idea for 64bit physical
addresses.

address with a constant using 'mov' instruction and lower 32bits are patched
using 'add'. While this is correct, in those platforms where the lowmem addressable

__pv_offset can be in two's complement form when PA_START &lt; VA_START and that can

       __pv_offset = PA - VA = 0xC0000000 (2's complement)

    2) PA = 0x2 80000000; VA = 0xC000000
       __pv_offset = PA - VA = 0x1 C0000000

<title>ARM: mm: Introduce virt_to_idmap() with an arch hook</title>

On some PAE systems (e.g. TI Keystone), memory is above the
32-bit addressable limit, and the interconnect provides an
aliased view of parts of physical memory in the 32-bit addressable
space.  This alias is strictly for boot time usage, and is not
otherwise usable because of coherency limitations. On such systems,
the idmap mechanism needs to take this aliased mapping into account.

This patch introduces virt_to_idmap() and a arch function pointer which
can be populated by platform which needs it. Also populate necessary
idmap spots with now available virt_to_idmap(). Avoided #ifdef approach
to be compatible with multi-platform builds.

Most architecture won't touch it and in that case virt_to_idmap()
fall-back to existing virt_to_phys() macro.
