| * | metag: Remove arch/metag/ | James Hogan | 2018-02-22 | 1 | -3/+0 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The earliest Meta architecture port of Linux I have a record of was an import of a Meta port of Linux v2.4.1 in February 2004, which was worked on significantly over the next few years by Graham Whaley, Will Newton, Matt Fleming, myself and others. Eventually the port was merged into mainline in v3.9 in March 2013, not long after Imagination Technologies bought MIPS Technologies and shifted its CPU focus over to the MIPS architecture. As a result, though the port was maintained for a while, kept on life support for a while longer, and useful for testing a few specific drivers for which I don't have ready access to the equivalent MIPS hardware, it is now essentially dead with no users. It is also stuck using an out-of-tree toolchain based on GCC 4.2.4 which is no longer maintained, now struggles to build modern kernels due to toolchain bugs, and doesn't itself build with a modern GCC. The latest buildroot port is still using an old uClibc snapshot which is no longer served, and the latest uClibc doesn't build with GCC 4.2.4. So lets call it a day and drop the Meta architecture port from the kernel. RIP Meta.

| * | .gitignore: move *.dtb and *.dtb.S patterns to the top-level .gitignore | Masahiro Yamada | 2017-11-08 | 1 | -1/+0 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | Most of DT files are compiled under arch/*/boot/dts/, but we have some other directories, like drivers/of/unittest-data/. We often miss to add gitignore patterns per directory. Since there are no source files that end with .dtb or .dtb.S, we can ignore the patterns globally.

| * | metag: Boot | James Hogan | 2013-03-02 | 1 | -0/+4 |
| Add boot code for metag. Due to the multi-threaded nature of Meta it is not uncommon for an RTOS or bare metal application to be started on other hardware threads by the bootloader. Since there is a single MMU switch which affects all threads, the MMU is traditionally configured by the bootloader prior to starting Linux. The bootloader passes a structure to Linux which among other things contains information about memory regions which have been mapped. Linux then assumes control of the local heap memory region. A kernel arguments string pointer or a flattened device tree pointer can be provided in the third argument. Signed-off-by: James Hogan <james.hogan@imgtec.com> | |||||
