2006-04-02[ARM] 3439/2: xsc3: add I/O coherency supportLennert Buytenhek
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek This patch adds support for the I/O coherent cache available on the xsc3. The approach is to provide a simple API to determine whether the chipset supports coherency by calling arch_is_coherent() and then setting the appropriate system memory PTE and PMD bits. In addition, we call this API on dma_alloc_coherent() and dma_map_single() calls. A generic version exists that will compile out all the coherency-related code that is not needed on the majority of ARM systems. Note that we do not check for coherency in the dma_alloc_writecombine() function as that still requires a special PTE setting. We also don't touch dma_mmap_coherent() as that is a special ARM-only API that is by definition only used on non-coherent system.

2006-03-22[PATCH] mm: split highorder pagesNick Piggin
Have an explicit mm call to split higher order pages into individual pages. Should help to avoid bugs and be more explicit about the code's intention.

2006-01-12[ARM] 3209/1: Configurable DMA-consistent memory regionKevin Hilman
Patch from Kevin Hilman This patch increase available DMA-consistent memory allocated by dma_coherent_alloc(). The default remains at 2M (defined in asm/memory.h) and each platform has the ability to override in asm/arch-foo/memory.h.

2006-01-03[ARM] Cleanup ARM includesRussell King
arch/arm/kernel/entry-armv.S has contained a comment suggesting that asm/hardware.h and asm/arch/irqs.h should be moved into the asm/arch/entry-macro.S include. So move the includes to these two files as required. Add missing includes (asm/hardware.h, asm/io.h) to asm/arch/system.h includes which use those facilities, and remove asm/io.h from kernel/process.c. Remove other unnecessary includes from arch/arm/kernel, arch/arm/mm and arch/arm/mach-footbridge. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2005-11-25[ARM] Do not call flush_tlb_kernel_range() with IRQs disabled.Russell King
We must not call TLB maintainence operations with interrupts disabled, otherwise we risk a lockup in the SMP IPI code. This means that consistent_free() can not be called from a context with IRQs disabled. In addition, we must not hold the lock in consistent_free when we call flush_tlb_kernel_range(). However, we must continue to prevent consistent_alloc() from re-using the memory region until we've finished tearing down the mapping and dealing with the TLB. Therefore, leave the vm_region entry in the list, but mark it inactive before dropping the lock and starting the tear-down process. After the mapping has been torn down, re-acquire the lock and remove the entry from the list. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2005-10-29[PATCH] mm: init_mm without ptlockHugh Dickins
First step in pushing down the page_table_lock. init_mm.page_table_lock has been used throughout the architectures (usually for ioremap): not to serialize kernel address space allocation (that's usually vmlist_lock), but because pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel expect caller holds it. Reverse that: don't lock or unlock init_mm.page_table_lock in any of the architectures; instead rely on pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel to take and drop it when allocating a new one, to check lest a racing task already did. Similarly no page_table_lock in vmalloc's map_vm_area. Some temporary ugliness in __pud_alloc and __pmd_alloc: since they also handle user mms, which are converted only by a later patch, for now they have to lock differently according to whether or not it's init_mm. If sources get muddled, there's a danger that an arch source taking init_mm.page_table_lock will be mixed with common source also taking it (or neither take it). So break the rules and make another change, which should break the build for such a mismatch: remove the redundant mm arg from pte_alloc_kernel (ppc64 scrapped its distinct ioremap_mm in 2.6.13). Exceptions: arm26 used pte_alloc_kernel on user mm, now pte_alloc_map; ia64 used pte_alloc_map on init_mm, now pte_alloc_kernel; parisc had bad args to pmd_alloc and pte_alloc_kernel in unused USE_HPPA_IOREMAP code; ppc64 map_io_page forgot to unlock on failure; ppc mmu_mapin_ram and ppc64 im_free took page_table_lock for no good reason.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
