[ARM] 4102/1: Allow for PHYS_OFFSET on any valid 2MiB address

2007-01-24T11:59:57+00:00

This patchs allows the offset to the first page of
physical memory to be on any 2MB boundary
whereas the previous code could only handle psysical
offset to any 16MB boundary (0xNN000000) or any 1MB
boundary below 0x01000000 (e.g. 0x00N00000). The
problem is a consequence of the orr one-byte syntax,
so we fix this and we can place the first bank of
memory at 0x28e00000. I have also included an explicit
check that disallow compilation when PHYS_OFFSET is
not on a 2MiB boundary. head.S would be the proper place
to have this at since this is the first file that
attempts to use PHYS_OFFSET during compile.

[ARM] Provide basic printk_clock() implementation

2007-01-08T19:50:03+00:00

Current sched_clock() implementations on ARM cause unbootable kernels
with PRINTK_TIME support enabled.  To avoid this, provide a basic
printk_clock() implementation which avoids sched_clock() being called
before the page tables have been set up.

[ARM] Fix kernel-mode undefined instruction aborts

2007-01-06T22:53:48+00:00

If the kernel attempts to execute a CP1 or CP2 instruction and it
aborts, and a FP emulator is not loaded, we try to return as if to
a user context, instead of the proper kernel context.  Since the
fault came from kernel mode, we must use the kernel return paths.

[ARM] 4054/1: ep93xx: add HWCAP_CRUNCH

2006-12-18T00:14:54+00:00

Add HWCAP_CRUNCH so that the dynamic linker knows whether it can
use Crunch-optimised libraries or not.

[ARM] Add more syscalls

2006-12-17T18:23:31+00:00

Add:
  sys_unshare
  sys_set_robust_list
  sys_get_robust_list
  sys_splice
  sys_arm_sync_file_range
  sys_tee
  sys_vmsplice
  sys_move_pages
  sys_getcpu

Special note about sys_arm_sync_file_range(), which is implemented as:

asmlinkage long sys_arm_sync_file_range(int fd, unsigned int flags,
                                        loff_t offset, loff_t nbytes)
{
        return sys_sync_file_range(fd, offset, nbytes, flags);
}

We can't export sys_sync_file_range() directly on ARM because the
argument list someone picked does not fit in the available registers.
Would be nice if... there was an arch maintainer review mechanism for
new syscalls before they hit the kernel.

[PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() calls

2006-12-13T17:05:58+00:00

Run this:

	#!/bin/sh
	for f in $(grep -Erl "\([^\)]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do
	  echo "De-casting $f..."
	  perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f
	done

And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers
to non-pointers.

And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

[ARM] Clean up KERNEL_RAM_ADDR

2006-12-11T22:29:16+00:00

Clean up the KERNEL_RAM_ADDR stuff in arch/arm/kernel/head.S to
make it clearer what's referring to what.  In doing so, remove
the usage of __virt_to_phys(), which is not guaranteed to be
something that the assembler can parse.
