2009-08-17ARM: implement highpteRussell King
Add the ARM implementation of highpte, which allows PTE tables to be placed in highmem. Unfortunately, we do not offer highpte support when support for L2 cache is enabled. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2009-07-11[ARM] pgtable: rearrange file PTE bit allocationRussell King
For future compatibility, we need to ensure that swap and file Linux PTEs conform with the hardware PTEs "fault" encoding. Swap PTEs already fit in with this, but file PTEs do not. Shift them by one bit to ensure that they conform, using bit 2 to distinguish between swap and file PTEs. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2009-07-11[ARM] remove L_PTE_BUFFERABLE and L_PTE_CACHEABLERussell King
These old symbols are meaningless now that we have memory type support implemented. The entire memory type field needs to be modified rather than just a few bits twiddled. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2009-07-05[ARM] pgtable: file pte layout documentationRussell King
Document the layout of our file PTE entries. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2009-07-05[ARM] pgtable: swp pte layout documentation, definitions, and checkRussell King
Document the layout of our swp PTE entries, adding definitions for the bit masks/shifts/sizes, and implement MAX_SWAPFILES_CHECK() such that we fail to build if we are unable to properly encode the swp type field. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2009-04-26[ARM] Convert pmd_page() to be highmem safeRussell King
In the long run, we may want to place page tables in highmem. However, pmd_page() has traditionally been coded to convert the physical address to a virtual one, which won't work with highmem pages. Instead, translate the physical address to a PFN, and then convert the PFN to a struct page instead. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2008-10-01[ARM] Improve non-executable supportRussell King
Add support for detecting non-executable stack binaries, and adjust permissions to prevent execution from data and stack areas. Also, ensure that READ_IMPLIES_EXEC is enabled for older CPUs where that is true, and for any executable-stack binary. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2008-10-01[ARM] Remove MT_DEVICE_IXP2000 and associated definitionsRussell King
As of the previous commit, MT_DEVICE_IXP2000 encodes to the same PTE bit encoding as MT_DEVICE, so it's now redundant. Convert MT_DEVICE_IXP2000 to use MT_DEVICE instead, and remove its aliases. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2008-10-01[ARM] Convert ARMv6 and ARMv7 to use new memory typesRussell King

2008-10-01[ARM] Convert Xscale and Xscale3 to use new memory typesRussell King

2008-10-01[ARM] Introduce new PTE memory type bitsRussell King
Provide L_PTE_MT_xxx definitions to describe the memory types that we use in Linux/ARM. These definitions are carefully picked such that: 1. their LSBs match what is required for pre-ARMv6 CPUs. 2. they all have a unique encoding, including after modification by build_mem_type_table() (the result being that some have more than one combination.)

2008-10-01[ARM] Re-jig Linux PTE bits to allow room for 4 memory type bitsRussell King

2008-09-30[ARM] 5271/1: get rid of pages_to_mb()Nicolas Pitre
There is no use of this in the whole tree. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2008-08-07[ARM] Move include/asm-arm/arch-* to arch/arm/*/include/machRussell King
This just leaves include/asm-arm/plat-* to deal with. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2008-08-02[ARM] move include/asm-arm to arch/arm/include/asmRussell King
Move platform independent header files to arch/arm/include/asm, leaving those in asm/arch* and asm/plat* alone. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
