<title>ARM: 7293/1: logical_cpu_map: decouple CPU mapping from SMP</title>

<content type='text'>
It turns out that the logical CPU mapping is useful even when !CONFIG_SMP
for manipulation of devices like interrupt and power controllers when
running a UP kernel on a CPU other than 0. This can happen when kexecing
a UP image from an SMP kernel.

In the future, multi-cluster systems running AMP configurations will
require something similar for mapping cluster IDs, so it makes sense to
decouple this logic in preparation for this support.

Fix the following build warning:

  CC      arch/arm/kernel/setup.o
In file included from arch/arm/kernel/setup.c:39:
arch/arm/include/asm/elf.h:102:1: warning: "vmcore_elf64_check_arch" redefined
In file included from arch/arm/kernel/setup.c:24:
include/linux/crash_dump.h:30:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition

Since commit 93a72052 (crash_dump: export is_kdump_kernel to modules, consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn)
the inclusion of &lt;linux/crash_dump.h&gt; is no longer needed.

Remove the inclusion of &lt;linux/crash_dump.h&gt; and the build warning is fixed.

arm_dma_zone_size is used by arm_bootmem_free() which is called by
paging_init(). Thus it needs to be set before calling it.

<title>memblock: Fix include breakages caused by 24aa07882b</title>

<content type='text'>
24aa07882b (memblock, x86: Replace memblock_x86_reserve/free_range()
with generic ones) removed arch/x86/include/asm/memblock.h and dropped
its inclusion from include/linux/memblock.h which breaks other
architectures which depended on the generic memblock.h pulling in the
arch specific one.

However, the proper fix isn't adding back the asm inclusion.  memblock
doesn't have any arch dependent part and doesn't need arch specific
header file and asm/memblock.h files are either practically empty or
contain mostly unrelated arch specific stuff.

* In microblaze, sh, powerpc, sparc and openrisc, asm/memblock.h is
  either empty or just contains unused MEMBLOCK_DBG() macro.  Remove
  them.

* In arm and unicore32, asm/memblock.h contains arch specific stuff.
  Include it directly from its users.  It might be a good idea to
  rename the header file to avoid confusion.

<title>ARM: 7187/1: fix unwinding for XIP kernels</title>
<updated>2011-12-06T11:16:13+00:00</updated>

<name>Uwe Kleine-König</name>

<id>de66a979012dbc66b1ec0125795a3f79ee667b8a</id>
<content type='text'>
The linker places the unwind tables in readonly sections. So when using
an XIP kernel these are located in ROM and cannot be modified.
For that reason the current approach to convert the relative offsets in
the unwind index to absolute addresses early in the boot process doesn't
work with XIP.

The offsets in the unwind index section are signed 31 bit numbers and
the structs are sorted by this offset. So it first has offsets between
0x40000000 and 0x7fffffff (i.e. the negative offsets) and then offsets
between 0x00000000 and 0x3fffffff. When seperating these two blocks the
numbers are sorted even when interpreting the offsets as unsigned longs.

So determine the first non-negative entry once and track that using the
new origin pointer. The actual bisection can then use a plain unsigned
long comparison. The only thing that makes the new bisection more
complicated is that the offsets are relative to their position in the
index section, so the key to search needs to be adapted accordingly in
each step.

Moreover several consts are added to catch future writes and rename the
member "addr" of struct unwind_idx to "addr_offset" to better match the
new semantic. (This has the additional benefit of breaking eventual
users at compile time to make them aware of the change.)

In my tests the new algorithm was a tad faster than the original and has
the additional upside of not needing the initial conversion and so saves
some boot time and it's possible to unwind even earlier.
