| * ARM: Fix pfn_valid() for sparse memoryRussell King2009-09-121-17/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On OMAP platforms, some people want to declare to segment up the memory between the kernel and a separate application such that there is a hole in the middle of the memory as far as Linux is concerned. However, they want to be able to mmap() the hole. This currently causes problems, because update_mmu_cache() thinks that there are valid struct pages for the "hole". Fix this by making pfn_valid() slightly more expensive, by checking whether the PFN is contained within the meminfo array.

* | Thumb-2: Add support for loadable modulesCatalin Marinas2009-07-241-0/+6
|/ | | | | | | | | | Modules compiled to Thumb-2 have two additional relocations needing to be resolved at load time, R_ARM_THM_CALL and R_ARM_THM_JUMP24, for BL and B.W instructions. The maximum Thumb-2 addressing range is +/-2^24 (+/-16MB) therefore the MODULES_VADDR macro in asm/memory.h is set to (MODULES_END - 8MB) for the Thumb-2 compiled kernel.

* [ARM] make page_to_dma() highmem awareNicolas Pitre2009-03-161-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a machine class has a custom __virt_to_bus() implementation then it must provide a __arch_page_to_dma() implementation as well which is _not_ based on page_address() to support highmem. This patch fixes existing __arch_page_to_dma() and provide a default implementation otherwise. The default implementation for highmem is based on __pfn_to_bus() which is defined only when no custom __virt_to_bus() is provided by the machine class. That leaves only ebsa110 and footbridge which cannot support highmem until they provide their own __arch_page_to_dma() implementation. But highmem support on those legacy platforms with limited memory is certainly not a priority. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@marvell.com>
* [ARM] kmap supportNicolas Pitre2009-03-161-3/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kmap virtual area borrows a 2MB range at the top of the 16MB area below PAGE_OFFSET currently reserved for kernel modules and/or the XIP kernel. This 2MB corresponds to the range covered by 2 consecutive second-level page tables, or a single pmd entry as seen by the Linux page table abstraction. Because XIP kernels are unlikely to be seen on systems needing highmem support, there shouldn't be any shortage of VM space for modules (14 MB for modules is still way more than twice the typical usage). Because the virtual mapping of highmem pages can go away at any moment after kunmap() is called on them, we need to bypass the delayed cache flushing provided by flush_dcache_page() in that case. The atomic kmap versions are based on fixmaps, and __cpuc_flush_dcache_page() is used directly in that case. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@marvell.com>
* [ARM] remove a common set of __virt_to_bus definitionsNicolas Pitre2008-11-281-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Let's provide an overridable default instead of having every machine class define __virt_to_bus and __bus_to_virt to the same thing. What most platforms are using is bus_addr == phys_addr so such is the default. One exception is ebsa110 which has no DMA what so ever, so the actual definition is not important except only for proper compilation. Also added a comment about the special footbridge bus translation. Let's also remove comments alluding to set_dma_addr which is not (and should not) be commonly used.

* [ARM] unconditionally define __virt_to_phys and __phys_to_virtNicolas Pitre2008-11-281-2/+0Star

* [ARM] fix naming of MODULE_START / MODULE_ENDRussell King2008-11-061-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | As of 73bdf0a60e607f4b8ecc5aec597105976565a84f, the kernel needs to know where modules are located in the virtual address space. On ARM, we located this region between MODULE_START and MODULE_END. Unfortunately, everyone else calls it MODULES_VADDR and MODULES_END. Update ARM to use the same naming, so is_vmalloc_or_module_addr() can work properly. Also update the comment on mm/vmalloc.c to reflect that ARM also places modules in a separate region from the vmalloc space. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
* [ARM] 5295/1: make ZONE_DMA optionalNicolas Pitre2008-10-091-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most ARM machines don't need a special "DMA" memory zone, and when configured out, the kernel becomes a bit smaller: | text data bss dec hex filename |3826182 102384 111700 4040266 3da64a vmlinux |3823593 101616 111700 4036909 3d992d vmlinux.nodmazone This is because the system now has only one zone total which effect is to optimize away many conditionals in page allocation paths. So let's configure this zone only on machines that need split zones. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
* [ARM] mm: move vmalloc= parsing to arch/arm/mm/mmu.cRussell King2008-09-301-8/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | There's no point scattering this around the tree, the parsing of the parameter might as well live beside the code which uses it. That also means we can make vmalloc_reserve a static variable. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

* [ARM] dma-mapping: improve type-safeness of DMA translationsRussell King2008-08-101-14/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | OMAP at least gets the return type(s) for the DMA translation functions wrong, which can lead to subtle errors. Avoid this by moving the DMA translation functions to asm/dma-mapping.h, and converting them to inline functions. Fix the OMAP DMA translation macros to use the correct argument and result types. Also, remove the unnecessary casts in dmabounce.c. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
* [ARM] prevent crashing when too much RAM installedLennert Buytenhek2008-08-091-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch will truncate and/or ignore memory banks if their kernel direct mappings would (partially) overlap with the vmalloc area or the mappings between the vmalloc area and the address space top, to prevent crashing during early boot if there happens to be more RAM installed than we are expecting. Since the start of the vmalloc area is not at a fixed address (but the vmalloc end address is, via the per-platform VMALLOC_END define), a default area of 128M is reserved for vmalloc mappings, which can be shrunk or enlarged by passing an appropriate vmalloc= command line option as it is done on x86. On a board with a 3:1 user:kernel split, VMALLOC_END at 0xfe000000, two 512M RAM banks and vmalloc=128M (the default), this patch gives: Truncating RAM at 20000000-3fffffff to -35ffffff (vmalloc region overlap). Memory: 512MB 352MB = 864MB total On a board with a 3:1 user:kernel split, VMALLOC_END at 0xfe800000, two 256M RAM banks and vmalloc=768M, this patch gives: Truncating RAM at 00000000-0fffffff to -0e7fffff (vmalloc region overlap).
