arm: Add devicetree fixup machine function

2014-07-30T03:26:49Z

Commit 1c2f87c22566cd057bc8cde10c37ae9da1a1bb76 (ARM: 8025/1: Get rid of meminfo) dropped the upper bound on the number of memory banks that can be added as there was no technical need in the kernel. It turns out though, some bootloaders (specifically the arndale-octa exynos boards) may pass invalid memory information and rely on the kernel to not parse this data. This is a bug in the bootloader but we still need to work around this. Work around this by introducing a dt_fixup function. This function gets called before the flattened devicetree is scanned for memory and the like. In this fixup function for exynos, limit the maximum number of memory regions in the devicetree.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm into next

2014-06-05T22:57:04Z

Pull ARM updates from Russell King: - Major clean-up of the L2 cache support code. The existing mess was becoming rather unmaintainable through all the additions that others have done over time. This turns it into a much nicer structure, and implements a few performance improvements as well. - Clean up some of the CP15 control register tweaks for alignment support, moving some code and data into alignment.c - DMA properties for ARM, from Santosh and reviewed by DT people. This adds DT properties to specify bus translations we can't discover automatically, and to indicate whether devices are coherent. - Hibernation support for ARM - Make ftrace work with read-only text in modules - add suspend support for PJ4B CPUs - rework interrupt masking for undefined instruction handling, which allows us to enable interrupts earlier in the handling of these exceptions. - support for big endian page tables - fix stacktrace support to exclude stacktrace functions from the trace, and add save_stack_trace_regs() implementation so that kprobes can record stack traces. - Add support for the Cortex-A17 CPU. - Remove last vestiges of ARM710 support. - Removal of ARM "meminfo" structure, finally converting us solely to memblock to handle the early memory initialisation. * 'for-linus' of git://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm: (142 commits) ARM: ensure C page table setup code follows assembly code (part II) ARM: ensure C page table setup code follows assembly code ARM: consolidate last remaining open-coded alignment trap enable ARM: remove global cr_no_alignment ARM: remove CPU_CP15 conditional from alignment.c ARM: remove unused adjust_cr() function ARM: move "noalign" command line option to alignment.c ARM: provide common method to clear bits in CPU control register ARM: 8025/1: Get rid of meminfo ARM: 8060/1: mm: allow sub-architectures to override PCI I/O memory type ARM: 8066/1: correction for ARM patch 8031/2 ARM: 8049/1: ftrace/add save_stack_trace_regs() implementation ARM: 8065/1: remove last use of CONFIG_CPU_ARM710 ARM: 8062/1: Modify ldrt fixup handler to re-execute the userspace instruction ARM: 8047/1: rwsem: use asm-generic rwsem implementation ARM: l2c: trial at enabling some Cortex-A9 optimisations ARM: l2c: add warnings for stuff modifying aux_ctrl register values ARM: l2c: print a warning with L2C-310 caches if the cache size is modified ARM: l2c: remove old .set_debug method ARM: l2c: kill L2X0_AUX_CTRL_MASK before anyone else makes use of this ...

ARM: 8025/1: Get rid of meminfo

2014-06-01T00:17:12Z

memblock is now fully integrated into the kernel and is the prefered method for tracking memory. Rather than reinvent the wheel with meminfo, migrate to using memblock directly instead of meminfo as an intermediate.

ARM: align cpu_method_of_table naming

2014-05-20T19:24:41Z

The cpu_method_of_table is the oddball of the various OF linker sections. In preparation to have common linker section definitions, align the cpu_method_of_table with the other definitions for the naming and ending with a blank struct.

of/fdt: move memreserve and dtb memory reservations into core

2014-04-30T05:59:17Z

Move the /memreserve/ processing and dtb memory reservations into early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem. This converts arm, arm64, and powerpc as they are the only users of early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem. memblock_reserve is safe to call on the same region twice, so the reservation check for the dtb in powerpc 32-bit reservations is safe to remove.

ARM: Introduce CPU_METHOD_OF_DECLARE() for cpu hotplug/smp

2014-02-11T21:00:37Z

The goal of multi-platform kernels is to remove the need for mach directories and machine descriptors. To further that goal, introduce CPU_METHOD_OF_DECLARE() to allow cpu hotplug/smp support to be separated from the machine descriptors. Implementers should specify an enable-method property in their cpus node and then implement a matching set of smp_ops in their hotplug/smp code, wiring it up with the CPU_METHOD_OF_DECLARE() macro. When the kernel is compiled we'll collect all the enable-method smp_ops into one section for use at boot. At boot time we'll look for an enable-method in each cpu node and try to match that against all known CPU enable methods in the kernel. If there are no enable-methods in the cpu nodes we fallback to the cpus node and try to use any enable-method found there. If that doesn't work we fall back to the old way of using the machine descriptor. Acked-by: Mark Rutland Cc: Russell King Cc: Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala

arch/arm/kernel/: use memblock apis for early memory allocations

2014-01-22T00:19:47Z

Switch to memblock interfaces for early memory allocator instead of bootmem allocator. No functional change in beahvior than what it is in current code from bootmem users points of view. Archs already converted to NO_BOOTMEM now directly use memblock interfaces instead of bootmem wrappers build on top of memblock. And the archs which still uses bootmem, these new apis just fallback to exiting bootmem APIs. Signed-off-by: Santosh Shilimkar Cc: "Rafael J.

ARM: 7934/1: DT/kernel: fix arch_match_cpu_phys_id to avoid erroneous match

2014-01-11T12:06:57Z

The MPIDR contains specific bitfields(MPIDR.Aff{2..0}) which uniquely identify a CPU, in addition to some non-identifying information and reserved bits. The ARM cpu binding defines the 'reg' property to only contain the affinity bits, and any cpu nodes with other bits set in their 'reg' entry are skipped. As such it is not necessary to mask the phys_id with MPIDR_HWID_BITMASK, and doing so could lead to matching erroneous CPU nodes in the device tree. This patch removes the masking of the physical identifier. Acked-by: Mark Rutland Signed-off-by: Sudeep Holla Signed-off-by: Russell King
