c6x/ptrace: Remove useless PTRACE_SETREGSET implementation

2017-04-07T08:59:34+00:00

commit fb411b837b587a32046dc4f369acb93a10b1def8 upstream.

gpr_set won't work correctly and can never have been tested, and the
correct behaviour is not clear due to the endianness-dependent task
layout.

So, just remove it.  The core code will now return -EOPNOTSUPPORT when
trying to set NT_PRSTATUS on this architecture until/unless a correct
implementation is supplied.

C6x: time: Ensure consistency in __init

2015-05-15T07:10:40+00:00

commit f4831605f2dacd12730fe73961c77253cc2ea425 upstream.

time_init invokes timer64_init (which is __init annotation)
since all of these are invoked at init time, lets maintain
consistency by ensuring time_init is marked appropriately
as well.

This fixes the following warning with CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x3bfc): Section mismatch in reference from the function time_init() to the function .init.text:timer64_init()
The function time_init() references
the function __init timer64_init().
This is often because time_init lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of timer64_init is wrong.

Remove GENERIC_HARDIRQ config option

2013-09-13T13:09:52+00:00

After the last architecture switched to generic hard irqs the config
options HAVE_GENERIC_HARDIRQS & GENERIC_HARDIRQS and the related code
for !CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS can be removed.

of: consolidate definition of early_init_dt_alloc_memory_arch()

2013-08-28T20:18:32+00:00

Most architectures use the same implementation. Collapse the common ones
into a single weak function that can be overridden.

of: Specify initrd location using 64-bit

2013-07-24T10:10:01+00:00

On some PAE architectures, the entire range of physical memory could reside
outside the 32-bit limit.  These systems need the ability to specify the
initrd location using 64-bit numbers.

This patch globally modifies the early_init_dt_setup_initrd_arch() function to
use 64-bit numbers instead of the current unsigned long.

There has been quite a bit of debate about whether to use u64 or phys_addr_t.
It was concluded to stick to u64 to be consistent with rest of the device
tree code. As summarized by Geert, "The address to load the initrd is decided
by the bootloader/user and set at that point later in time. The dtb should not
be tied to the kernel you are booting"

c6x: normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds

2013-07-03T23:07:34+00:00

Normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds to conform usage
guidelines from include/asm-generic/sections.h.

Use _text to mark the start of the kernel image including the head text,
and _stext to mark the start of the .text section.

This patch also fixes possible bugs due to current address layout that
[__init_begin, __init_end] is a sub-range of [_stext, _etext] and pages
within range [__init_begin, __init_end] will be freed by free_initmem().

mm: concentrate modification of totalram_pages into the mm core

2013-07-03T23:07:33+00:00

Concentrate code to modify totalram_pages into the mm core, so the arch
memory initialized code doesn't need to take care of it.  With these
changes applied, only following functions from mm core modify global
variable totalram_pages: free_bootmem_late(), free_all_bootmem(),
free_all_bootmem_node(), adjust_managed_page_count().

With this patch applied, it will be much more easier for us to keep
totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in consistence.

mm: enhance free_reserved_area() to support poisoning memory with zero

2013-07-03T23:07:32+00:00

Address more review comments from last round of code review.
1) Enhance free_reserved_area() to support poisoning freed memory with
   pattern '0'. This could be used to get rid of poison_init_mem()
   on ARM64.
2) A previous patch has disabled memory poison for initmem on s390
   by mistake, so restore to the original behavior.
3) Remove redundant PAGE_ALIGN() when calling free_reserved_area().
