2009-03-15[ARM] fixmap supportNicolas Pitre
This is the minimum fixmap interface expected to be implemented by architectures supporting highmem. We have a second level page table already allocated and covering 0xfff00000-0xffffffff because the exception vector page is located at 0xffff0000, and various cache tricks already use some entries above 0xffff0000. Therefore the PTEs covering 0xfff00000-0xfffeffff are free to be used. However the XScale cache flushing code already uses virtual addresses between 0xfffe0000 and 0xfffeffff. So this reserves the 0xfff00000-0xfffdffff range for fixmap stuff. The Documentation/arm/memory.txt information is updated accordingly, including the information about the actual top of DMA memory mapping region which didn't match the code.

2008-12-01[ARM] use asm/sections.hRussell King
Update to use the asm/sections.h header rather than declaring these symbols ourselves. Change __data_start to _data to conform with the naming found within asm/sections.h. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2008-11-28[ARM] rationalize memory configuration code some moreNicolas Pitre
Currently there are two instances of struct meminfo: one in kernel/setup.c marked __initdata, and another in mm/init.c with permanent storage. Let's keep only the later to directly populate the permanent version from arm_add_memory(). Also move common validation tests between the MMU and non-MMU cases into arm_add_memory() to remove some duplication. Protection against overflowing the membank array is also moved in there in order to cover the kernel cmdline parsing path as well.

2008-10-01[ARM] remove 'prot_pte_ext' from memory type tableRussell King
This member is now redundant; the memory type is encoded in the Linux PTE bits. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2008-09-06[ARM] clean up a load of old declarationsRussell King
... some of which are now in linux/*.h headers. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2007-04-21[ARM] mm 6: allow mem_types table to specify extended pte attributesRussell King
Add prot_pte_ext to the mem_types table to allow the extended pte attributes to be passed to set_pte_ext(), thereby permitting us to specify memory type information for the hardware PTE entries. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2007-04-21[ARM] mm 5: Use mem_types table in ioremapRussell King
We really want to be using the memory type table in ioremap, so we only have to do the CPU type fixups in one place. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2006-11-30[ARM] Fix nommu buildRussell King
Fix warnings and errors in arch/arm/mm for nommu build. Remove commented out function prototype in pgtable-nommu.h Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2006-09-27[ARM] Move rest of MMU setup code from mm-armv.c to mmu.cRussell King
If we're going to have mmu.c for code which is specific to the MMU machines, we might as well move the other MMU initialisation specific code from mm-armv.c into this new file. This also allows us to make some functions static. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2006-09-27[ARM] Split ARM MM initialisation for !mmuRussell King
Move the MMU specific code from init.c into mmu.c, and add nommu fixups to nommu.c Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2006-09-20[ARM] Cleanup arch/arm/mm a littleRussell King
Move top_pmd into arch/arm/mm/mm.h - nothing outside arch/arm/mm references it. Move the repeated definition of TOP_PTE into mm/mm.h, as well as a few function prototypes. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
