MIPS: Reserve nosave data for hibernation

2016-06-08T01:23:33+00:00

commit a95d069204e178f18476f5499abab0d0d9cbc32c upstream.

After commit 92923ca3aacef63c92d ("mm: meminit: only set page reserved
in the memblock region"), the MIPS hibernation is broken. Because pages
in nosave data section should be "reserved", but currently they aren't
set to "reserved" at initialization. This patch makes hibernation work
again.

MIPS: Fix early CM probing

2016-02-09T16:18:31+00:00

Commit c014d164f21d ("MIPS: Add platform callback before initializing
the L2 cache") added a platform_early_l2_init function in order to allow
platforms to probe for the CM before L2 initialisation is performed, so
that CM GCRs are available to mips_sc_probe.

That commit actually fails to do anything useful, since it checks
mips_cm_revision to determine whether it should call mips_cm_probe but
the result of mips_cm_revision will always be 0 until mips_cm_probe has
been called. Thus the "early" mips_cm_probe call never occurs.

Fix this & drop the useless weak platform_early_l2_init function by
simply calling mips_cm_probe from setup_arch. For platforms that don't
select CONFIG_MIPS_CM this will be a no-op, and for those that do it
removes the requirement for them to call mips_cm_probe manually
(although doing so isn't harmful for now).

arch: Set IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM flag for System RAM

2016-01-30T08:49:57+00:00

Set IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM in flags of resource ranges with
"System RAM", "Kernel code", "Kernel data", and "Kernel bss".

Note that:

 - IORESOURCE_SYSRAM (i.e. modifier bit) is set in flags when
   IORESOURCE_MEM is already set. IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM is defined
   as (IORESOURCE_MEM|IORESOURCE_SYSRAM).

 - Some archs do not set 'flags' for children nodes, such as
   "Kernel code".  This patch does not change 'flags' in this
   case.

MIPS: vmlinux: create a section for appended DTB

2015-11-12T10:35:48+00:00

For bootloaders that support booting only ELF kernels and load only ELF
segments to memory there is no easy way to supply DTB without kernel
recompilation. For that purpose, create a section called .appended_dtb
that can be later updated with board-specific DTB using binutils e.g. at
kernel installation time.

MIPS: Make the kernel arguments from dtb available

2015-11-11T07:38:34+00:00

Similar to how arm allows using selecting between bootloader arguments,
dtb arguments and both, allow to select them on mips. But since we have
less control over the place of the dtb do not modify it but instead use
the boot_command_line for merging them.

The default is "use bootloader arguments" to keep the current behaviour
as default.

MIPS: Declare mips_debugfs_dir in a header

2015-10-26T08:49:42+00:00

We have many extern declarations of mips_debugfs_dir through arch/mips/
in various C files. Unify them by declaring mips_debugfs_dir in a
header, including it in each affected C file & removing the duplicate
declarations.

MIPS: bootmem: Fix mapstart calculation for contiguous maps

2015-09-22T15:25:33+00:00

Commit a6335fa1 fixed the case with gap between initrd and next usable PFN zone,
but broken the case when initrd is combined with usable memory into one region
(in add_memory_region()). Restore the fixup initially brought in by f9a7febd.

Looks like the word "contiguous" is often mistyped.
