Subject: [PATCH v2 00/10] MMU disabling code and kexec fixes
Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2011 16:58:52 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1307635142-11312-1-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com> (raw)
Hi,
This is version 2 of the patches originally posted here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2011-June/052157.html
Thanks to Dave and Frank for feedback on those patches.
Changes from v1 include:
* Implementation of cpu_reset for ARMv6 cores.
* Introduction of stack-switching code to allow us to include more of
the address space in the 1:1 mapping.
* Exposure of non-static identity mappings functions via a new header
file.
* Changes to the cpu_* macro definitions when MULTI_CPU is defined.
* Introduction of a new reboot mode, 'k', for mapping (most of)
kernelspace as 1:1.
* Use of swapper_pg_dir to create the identity mapping.
The idea is to remap all of the address space apart from the kernel
image and a small amount of memory (up to a page) immediately following
it as part of the identity map. This means that we can guarantee the
reset code will be available at its physical address (unless the
difference between virtual and physical space is unusually small. The
1:1 scenario is a special case that I haven't handled here).
I've tested this with kexec on a Realview-PBX (Cortex-A9) and it appears
to work well, although kexecing an SMP kernel exposes issues with other
parts of the code (timer initialisation for example).
Once again, all feedback welcome!
Will
