ARM: 7150/1: Allow kernel unaligned accesses on ARMv6+ processors

2011-11-08T18:25:04+00:00

Recent gcc versions generate unaligned accesses by default on ARMv6 and
later processors. This patch ensures that the SCTLR.A bit is always
cleared on such processors to avoid kernel traping before
alignment_init() is called.

Fix up mostly pretty trivial conflicts in:

 - arch/arm/mach-u300/core.c
 - arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c
 - arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.S
 - arch/arm/plat-omap/Kconfig
largely due to some CONFIG option renaming (ie CONFIG_PM_SLEEP ->
CONFIG_ARM_CPU_SUSPEND for the arm-specific suspend code etc) and
addition of NEED_MACH_MEMORY_H next to HAVE_IDE.

ARM: prepare for removal of a bunch of files

2011-09-26T14:11:58+00:00

When the CONFIG_NO_MACH_MEMORY_H symbol is selected by a particular
machine class, the machine specific memory.h include file is no longer
used and can be removed.  In that case the equivalent information can
be obtained dynamically at runtime by enabling CONFIG_ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT
or by specifying the physical memory address at kernel configuration time.

If/when all instances of mach/memory.h are removed then this symbol could
be removed.

ARM: add an extra temp register to the low level debugging addruart macro

2011-09-26T14:11:25+00:00

Some platforms (like OMAP not to name it) are doing rather complicated
hacks just to determine the base UART address to use.  Let's give their
addruart macro some slack by providing an extra work register which will
allow for much needed cleanups.

This is basically a no-op as this commit is only adding the extra argument
to the macro but no one is using it yet.

ARM: 7059/1: LPAE: Use PMD_(SHIFT|SIZE|MASK) instead of PGDIR_*

2011-08-23T14:30:33+00:00

PGDIR_SHIFT and PMD_SHIFT for the classic 2-level page table format have
the same value (21). This patch converts the PGDIR_* uses in the kernel
to the PMD_* equivalent so that LPAE builds can reuse the same code.

ARM: 7013/1: P2V: Remove ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT_16BIT

2011-08-13T10:26:40+00:00

This code can be removed now that MSM targets no longer need the 16-bit
offsets for P2V.

ARM: 6999/1: head, zImage: Always Enter the kernel in ARM state

2011-07-19T11:00:53+00:00

Currently, the documented kernel entry requirements are not
explicit about whether the kernel should be entered in ARM or
Thumb, leading to an ambiguitity about how to enter Thumb-2
kernels.  As a result, the kernel is reliant on the zImage
decompressor to enter the kernel proper in the correct instruction
set state.

This patch changes the boot entry protocol for head.S and Image to
be the same as for zImage: in all cases, the kernel is now entered
in ARM.

Documentation/arm/Booting is updated to reflect this new policy.

A different rule will be needed for Cortex-M class CPUs as and when
support for those lands in mainline, since these CPUs don't support
the ARM instruction set at all: a note is added to the effect that
the kernel must be entered in Thumb on such systems.

ARM: 6942/1: mm: make TTBR1 always point to swapper_pg_dir on ARMv6/7

2011-05-26T11:14:32+00:00

This patch makes TTBR1 point to swapper_pg_dir so that global, kernel
mappings can be used exclusively on v6 and v7 cores where they are
needed.
