ARM: 8637/1: Adjust memory boundaries after reservations

2017-02-28T11:05:28+00:00

adjust_lowmem_bounds is responsible for setting up the boundary for
lowmem/highmem. This needs to be setup before memblock reservations can
occur. At the time memblock reservations can occur, memory can also be
removed from the system. The lowmem/highmem boundary and end of memory
may be affected by this but it is currently not recalculated. On some
systems this may be harmless, on others this may result in incorrect
ranges being passed to the main memory allocator. Correct this by
recalculating the lowmem/highmem boundary after all reservations have
been made.

ARM: 8636/1: Cleanup sanity_check_meminfo

2017-02-28T11:04:57+00:00

The logic for sanity_check_meminfo has become difficult to
follow. Clean up the code so it's more obvious what the code
is actually trying to do. Additionally, meminfo is now removed
so rename the function to better describe its purpose.

ARM: 8604/1: V7M: Add support for reading the CTR with read_cpuid_cachetype()

2016-09-06T14:51:07+00:00

With the addition of caches to the V7M Architecture a new Cache Type
Register (CTR) is defined at 0xE000ED7C. This register serves the same
purpose as the V7A/R version and accessed via the read_cpuid_cachetype.

ARM: 8602/1: factor out CSSELR/CCSIDR operations that use cp15 directly

2016-09-06T14:51:06+00:00

Currently we use raw cp15 operations to access the cache setup data.

This patch abstracts the CSSELR and CCSIDR accessors out to a header so
that the implementation for them can be switched out as we do with other
cpu/cachetype operations.

ARM: 8595/2: apply more __ro_after_init

2016-08-12T15:47:06+00:00

Guided by grsecurity's analogous __read_only markings in arch/arm,
this applies several uses of __ro_after_init to structures that are
only updated during __init.

ARM: kexec: advertise location of bootable RAM

2016-08-02T23:35:25+00:00

Advertise the location of bootable RAM to kexec-tools.  kexec needs to
know where it can place the kernel in RAM, and so be executable when the
system needs to jump into it.

Advertise these areas in /proc/iomem with a "System RAM (boot alias)"
tag.

ARM: kdump: advertise boot aliased crash kernel resource

2016-08-02T23:35:25+00:00

Advertise a resource which describes where the crash kernel is located
in the boot view of RAM.  This allows kexec-tools to have this vital
information.

Merge tag 'devicetree-for-4.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/robh/linux

2016-07-30T18:32:01+00:00

Pull DeviceTree updates from Rob Herring:

 - remove most of_platform_populate() calls in arch code.  Now the DT
   core code calls it in the default case and platforms only need to
   call it if they have special needs

 - use pr_fmt on all the DT core print statements

 - CoreSight binding doc improvements to block name descriptions

 - add dt_to_config script which can parse dts files and list
   corresponding kernel config options

 - fix memory leak hit with a PowerMac DT

 - correct a bunch of STMicro compatible strings to use the correct
   vendor prefix

 - fix DA9052 PMIC binding doc to match what is actually used in dts
   files

ARM: XEN: Move xen_early_init() before efi_init()

2016-07-06T09:34:45+00:00

Move xen_early_init() before efi_init(), then when calling efi_init()
could initialize Xen specific UEFI.

Check if it runs on Xen hypervisor through the flat dts.
